You don't need to select the code you wish to format, it formats the entire method.

If it is already formatted, pretty print it will appear to have no effect other than making the method dirty (changed).

Not sure what version of Squeak you're using, but there is also a hot-key which invokes the pretty print function in the code pane: Shift+Command+S

Nothing happens. Why?

The above is well-indented codes. Then I intentionally add more spaces, like this *1 to: 9 do: [ :i | 1 to: i do: [ :j | Transcript show: ('{1} * {2} = {3} ' format: {j. i. j * i}); show: ' ' ]. Transcript show: ' '; cr. ].*

Then I use pretty print or pretty print with color, nothing happens.

I recorded a video to illustrate my issue.

I do not understand why "pretty print" does not indent anything.

Oh, I see now, the video makes your question clear :-)

You are working in a workspace, and the menu option "pretty print" is doing nothing for your selected code in the workspace.

Indeed, this does seem like a bug, because if pretty printing does not work in a workspace selection, we should not be presenting the option in a menu.

I do not know if it would be a good idea to have pretty print for workspace selections (it is not something that I would think to use), but either way the menu options should agree with the actual behavior.
