I would love to be able to get a news that IBM is using Pharo and Moose. It would be so good for our public image. Could you let us more about your project?

First, THANKS FOR BREATHING NEW LIFE INTO SMALLTALK!!!!!

We've adopted Pharo/Moose/et.al. for a major project in IBM Research, and as a 29-year Smalltalk veteran, I am simply blown away by all the extreme functionality the community has developed.
In getting used to Glamour, I found a need for a doubleClick action, but the only examples and APIs I could locate used the transmission to update another pane. I worked out how to do what I need using a "hidden pane", but its an awkward hack. What I would really like is a strongSelectionAct: but I haven't learned enough of the infrastructure to add it myself.
I also found that once you doubleClick an unselected list item, it launches the action, selects the list item, but then you can't doubleClick it again for another action. I found a solution by resetting the port value.

Here's the code that works.

browser := GLMTabulator new.
browser row:#numbers; row:#numbersDoubleClick size:0.1.
browser transmit to: #numbers; andShow:[:a| a list display:[:n| 1to: n]].
browser transmit to: #numbersDoubleClick; from: #numbers port:#strongSelection;
andShow:[:x| (browser portValueAt: (#numbers->#strongSelection)) explore.
browser portValueAt: (#numbers->#strongSelection) put: nil].
browser openOn: 10.

Is there a better way?

Regards,
Sam
