Hi Greg - meta is the Cmd key on a Mac. So you type cmd-shift-f for reformat code in a method, cmd-s to save.
There are some chorded keys - eg cmd-b cmd-m (keep holding the cmd then press b followed by m) to browse implementers of the selected method. On Linux the meta key is Ctrl (just an FYI) While discussing keystrokes - a less obvious but very useful one is shift-enter to get the spotter (sort of like the Mac’s spotlight but for code) All of this is in the help documentation - Help | Help Browser | Pharo Environment Help. But happy to get you started, as it’s frustrating if the basics aren’t working for you.
