Hi Mark,
Use case:
In a fresh sq7159
world menu>open>class browser
select a method
(I used KernelTests-Methods
>MethodPropertiesTest
>testAllMethodsHaveMethodClass )
to the right of the 'class vars' button there is a button that
usually says 'source' .
Press that and you get a menu.
Select 'pretty print'
The button will now read 'pretty print' and the methods will be
displayed that way.
When I do this I usually go full hog an ask for color print which
highlights the different parts of squeak.
The color scheme is different than shouts but it is very helpful in
groking code.
Thank you very much! That worked!
The other key thing I learned from this is that after it is selected,
pretty printing is done automatically any time changes to the code in
a method are saved. Cool!
Yours in curiosity and service, --Jerome Peace

Hmm...I just switched to a SystemBrowser in a pharo dev image,
highlighted the code in a method, right clicked, selected "more...",
and pretty print, and it rearranged my code...
What image are you using?
I just repeated the steps you listed and it still didnt' work. I'm
using Squeak3.10.2-7179-basic on a Mac.

Try right-clicking on the method name (in the method pane of the

Pretty print isn't in that menu when using System Browser. Maybe I
should switch to OmniBrowser. I haven't tried that yet.
Is it really possible that System Browser can't format code?
Ha. Squeak knows how to do more things than you or I know how to
ask it.
My working assumpt.
