Hi Stef, Thanks a lot for the detailed report. Comments inline.

Esteban also wanted Enter, and I was more inclined towards Cmd+v. I opened an issue: https://pharo.fogbugz.com/f/cases/14711/The-Playground-print-popper-should-allow-for-inserting-the-text-in-the-editor Right now I have to copy and paste explictly and it not working.

The current way to do things is like this: - Cmd+c - Esc - Right Arrow - Cmd+v Clearly not ideal.

For example, in a basic Workspace, press Cmd+i without selecting anything and the whole like will be selected. We cannot just erase the selection when we exit the popper because sometimes you actually have an explicit selection that you should not lose. But, coming to think about it, we should probably use the highlighting mechanism for the text instead of the selection one. I will look into this. > and I can paste the result and start to edit it.

I am asking because I would like to learn as I never need to do it. This is why the interface does not support that action so I need to learn the use case :).
