I guess you are looking for<br>
Preferences enable:
#syntaxHighlightingAsYouTypeAnsiAssignment.<br>
and<br>
Preferences enable:
#syntaxHighlightingAsYouTypeLeftArrowAssignment.<br>
(enable only one of them at a time)<br>
<br>
#useLeftArrow and #useAlwaysLeftArrow seem useless to me. I think
we'd just remove them.<br>

Until then the default should be ^ for returning a value,

Today I pushed a commit to take the Unicode Arrow glyphs from DejaVu
if the selected font doesn't include them. Assignment and returns
should look well in any font.<br>
<br>
Some clarifications:<br>
- There are no specifically "supported fonts". You can use any
TrueType font you like. We include a few with Cuis for convenience.
You can add others. Different TrueType fonts will vary in the range
of glyphs they include.<br>
- We always use Character 94 for return ( ^ in the keyboard). We
just display it as an up arrow when it is a return (but not when it
is used a a binary selector, or in a comment).<br>
- You can use := or left arrow ( _ in the keyboard) for assignment.
Your choice. We display _ as a left arrow when it is used for
assignment (but not when it is used as part of a variable name or
selector, or in a comment).<br>

<div dir="ltr">The SVG support is a big deal and I'm
interested in exploring what I can do with Cuis as an
alternative, but for most application needs Pharo and
Cincom, as "top heavy" as they are, still seem most suitable
for actual application development. Gemstone is also great.
In general I am always struggling with which to use for what
purpose.<br clear="all">
