Hi Davide,
I'm not sure I can be much help since I never use the pretty printer and
I'm not familiar with the system.
There may be a setting for that, but if not and I wanted to find out about
how to do it
I'd take the shotgun approach....
In System > Settings, search for "pretty" and the with some setting related
to newLines,
some line "New line After Cascade"
then "Browse" it, then in the body of the method find that text again
and look for senders attached selector.
That brought me to " BIConfigurableFormatter >> visitCascadeNode: "
and browsing that method in the System Browser shows a bundle of other
"visitXXX" methods.
Drop a "self haltOnce" in an interesting one and try to trigger when you
pretty print.
Trace through a few times to learn how it does its stuff, and see if you
can change it to do what you want.
