That is an interesting question, while I sadly don’t have the answer, I do find the Dr Racket ‘Search in files’ useful for exploring the Racket(incl DrR) code base.

That’s certainly possible, but it’s also easy to write your own keyboard shortcut or quickscript to fill the gap. I started something like this here, to be used mainly on the command line (or in a quickscript): https://gist.github.com/Metaxal/c328dca7849018388f792094f8e0895c it’s work in progress though.

edit: The gist above is now a quickscript that replaces either the selected string or the backward sexp into a utf–8 symbol

Oh my, I just discovered https://docs.racket-lang.org/gui/text_.html?q=get-text#%28meth._%28%28%28lib._mred%2Fmain..rkt%29._text~25%29._set-clickback%29%29\|clickbacks! This means we can do interactive games in DrRacket’s editors :slightly_smiling_face:

Non-interactive games are the worst!

You’re probably not thinking of the game of life I assume? :stuck_out_tongue:

Conway’s GoL is the ultimate example of Laplace’s Demon.
