Ok, thanks :-)
[edit: also, yes "blocks" was an unfortunate choice of words earlier, I did mean logical blocks of code, not actual Smalltalk blocks. Like typing in the text in the demo-example above and having it all evaluate (or if not all, maybe the first and second half separately).]
I guess I'm leaning a little in the direction of the "tagline" of GNU smalltalk ("The Smalltalk for those who can type").
I'm not entirely sure I really want a "vim" mode -- but some form of keyboard-driven modal editing/editor/browser-thingy would be good, I think. I definitively need an interface that is (fully) usable without the mouse, due to wrist-strain.
On a similar note, this looks very promising (both as a VM and as inspiration for shorcuts):

Will have to find out if it works under Pharo 3.0...
