Comment #1 on issue 3908 by siguc...@gmail.com: Fix for pool variables references http://code.google.com/p/pharo/issues/detail?id=3908
(No comment was entered for this change.)
Finally i could navigate all uses of shared variables (class vars and pool vars), by simply pressing cmd-shift-n ! Its been years since i looked for that feature.. and fix was quite simple.
Nice idea, wrong solution. ;)
Have a time to elaborate?
There's no guarantee, that model understands #selectedClassOrMetaClass, for example ObjectExplorer doesn't understand it.
In object explorer, when i press shift-alt-n in lower pane, it works ok.
and when i click it in list, it producing DNU Inspector>>browseClassRefs
And in inspector, right and lower panes work ok, and top-left pane producing same DNU.
And yes, i was afraid that not all models will support that message, and we discussed that. And i got reassured by Benjamin that it does, because StringHolder supports it :)
Actually i am agree that model don't have to understand #selectedClassOrMetaClass , but since it using SmalltalkEditor, then it should have some minimal protocol, which SmalltalkEditor expects from model to support. This may be something different, but idea should be the same: editor should be able to ask model to provide an environment it currently works in, so then it could use #bindingOf: to determine if given symbolic name has a binding in such environment.
So, it is a quick dirty hack, which works (in Pharo at least), and gives us a way to quickly navigate over all uses of classvars or pool vars.
I intentionally posted this vm-dev list, because i was missing this feature for too long when hacking VM. Navigating over class vars in classes like Interpreter is pain.. and there was no way to navigate over pool vars (and Eliot using them a lot in Cog).
