<p>Hi, this sounds great! It took me also a few months to find out that this feature "browse assignments" exists :)</p>
<p>On the other hand, I think this makes the button row look even more overfilled.</p>
<p>Another option might be to offer a pop-up menu similar to the code provenance button. This menu would have two items: 'references' and 'assignments'. Good for clarity, not so good for efficiency -- on the other hand, which person that wants to be efficient
uses the button instead of <cmd>a?</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>A popular GUI element for such problems is the <a href="https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/windowsribbon/windowsribbon-controls-splitbutton" class="OWAAutoLink">
split button</a>. Emphasises the default option of a series, but still provides fast access to the rest of series, too. But we don't have a pluggable implementation for this in Morphic so far, do we?</p>

<div dir="auto">Hi,
<div dir="auto"><br>
</div>
<div dir="auto">One can invoke this also with Cmd-a on the class, or somewhere in its pop-up menu.</div>
<div dir="auto"><br>
</div>
<div dir="auto">A button for it could be nice on touch screens though. There is no button space for all our favorite features though. </div>
<div dir="auto"><br>
</div>
<div dir="auto">Ralph, could you send a screenshot of your solution for a quick impression, please?</div>
<div dir="auto"><br>

<div dir="auto">Kings regards,</div>

In the Browsers there is a line of buttons: "browse", "senders" etc.<br>
One of the buttons is "vars" which when pressed brings up a GUI that<br>
allows you to select a variable and then a list of all methods using<br>
that variable<br>
is brought up from which you can select a method to inspect.<br>
<br>
Sometimes I only want to view the subset of the methods in which the<br>
variable is assigned.<br>
I have implemented this feature (new button to the right of "vars"<br>
labeled ":=")<br>
and find it to be very useful.<br>
I am wondering if this feature can be added to the next version of Squeak.<br>
I can send my code changes if someone is willing to do this but the changes<br>
required are small so my help may not be needed.<br>
<br>
If some do not like this feature (it's great really!) then perhaps it<br>
could be turned<br>
on or off depending on a Preferences setting.<br>
<br>
If this feature happens to be in 5.3 then my apologies for wasting<br>
peoples time.<br>
