I had gotten the impression that to execute any Smalltalk statement you always have to select it first. I just checked, the "right click -> do it" only works if at least the cursor is somewhere on the statement. I normally do a cmd-D (macOS) in these situations though. But AFAIK it’s not necessary to select the whole statement. If the cursor is somewhere else in the editor the “right click -> do it” does not work as expected. I think the editor should maybe put the cursor in the position where you right click. But that is more of a preference. I think if you get used to that behaviour then you probably don’t even think about it. Coming from most common coding editors, I find the editors in Pharo a bit quirky. But I (we?) probably get used to it. I did check online how some people use external editors and I think it’s not worth the hassle. It’s not as straightforward programming as I’m used to. And, I think if you use an external editor you miss the “immersion” of the environment. Cheers, Richard
