Sure, we got the right to change historical code. But beware, naming actions with physical button positioncould be misleading... ... it does not take into account the logical indirection.
We could as well use intention revealing names like selectButton operateButton haloButton... .. Err, no more halo in Pharo, these names are prematurely frozen and don't take future evolutions into account. Oh, we need some more neutral naming scheme, but for sure, something less colorfull that these childish st-80 and e toys. I suggest you use whiteButton greyButton blackButton, or maybe paleBlueButton, lightCyanButton to be more inline with an aqua theme ;) Nicolas 2011/1/24 Marcus Denker <marcus.den...@inria.fr>: > > On Jan 24, 2011, at 5:39 AM, Guillermo Polito wrote: > > I hate yellowButtonPressed and redButtonPressed and blueButtonPressed > messages. > > Why not lefClick, rightClick and "middleClick"? > > > Yes. > Back in the days, the color buttons where "holy cows".
