Hola,
Andrei demoed it to me on friday and it is *extremely* cool. I can’t wait to start using it for my next development session.
I have one request though (as I already mentioned to Andrei). Since you are using a significant part of the screen, it would not be costly to (e.g. at the bottom) put a small legend of the non-obvious keystroke combinations. It would greatly increase discoverability of the features of the tool.
Considering the blog post, the legend would be ( I don’t understand the difference between the last 2): Cmd+Shift+ArrowUp/ArrowDown = Next/Prev category, Cmd+RightArrow = Dive into, Cmd+Shift+RightArrow = ???

Hi,
Alex Syrel, Andrei Chis and I are happy to announce a new addition to the Glamorous Toolkit: GTSpotter, a novel interface for spotting objects.
GTSpotter has two goals:
- Provide a uniform yet moldable interface that can work on any object, and
- Handle searching through arbitrary levels of object nesting.
We think this will have a significant impact on the development workflow in Pharo.
Here is a couple of screenshots: <gtspotter-packages-classes.png> <gtspotter-dive-class-method-sender.png> <gtspotter-playground.png>
A trailer is available here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PhSmjR3NOlU
A detailed description is available here: http://www.humane-assessment.com/blog/introducing-gtspotter
It works already in Pharo 3.0 and can be played with by following the instructions from: http://gt.moosetechnology.org
Please let us know what you think.
Enjoy, The Glamorous Team
