Also, as I'm sure everyone knows, any Squeak code pane will complete the name of a partially typed selector if you hit cmd-q ("query symbols" ;-).  If it's ambiguous, successive strokes will cycle through the partial matches.  That code is based in ParagraphEditor>>querySymbol:.

[If you didn't know about this feature and like it, then you will want to know about cmd-sh-A too]
