I have Shout installed and I see, the := instead left arrow.
I can see, on World > Preferences > Preference Browser, under 'browsing' category, an option called..
syntaxHighlightingAsYouTypeLeftArrowAssignment
I don't know if this is the option, but If I enable it, My ':=' are changed to '_', not to left arrow.
Cheers.

ndeed, using '_' for assignment seems repugnant to a lot of people. Some of the debate in the previous swiki link focused on this aspect, and the issues in having '_' have such a non-standard meaning in Squeak, as well as the need to use '_' in circumstances other than assignment. Maybe left-arrow could be internally represented as ':=', filed-out as ':=', etc, but displayed as left-arrow according to preferences. Additionally, a key-binding could be used for inserting the left-arrow while typing.
I'm not sure what kinds of issues this would raise in how source code is represented; I recall someone saying that the representation would have to change significantly for this to work. But perhaps there's an easy way to do it?
If you use Shout this is exactly how it is working.
