Club Squeak

The Squeak browser has what are called “optional buttons” which I find indispensable.

Each of these buttons saves you at least one click and most cases several. The “inheritance” button has color codings which provide information that’s very time consuming to get at. In my experiences, one almost always needs a few of these capabilities during a programming session. They do take up screen real estate but for many it’s a worthwhile trade-off.

In order to show these buttons you need to select “optional buttons” in the browsing section of preferences. If you don’t already know how to do this read the rest of this entry.
