Script editor
Posted: 15 Oct 2014 10:26
Working all day in an "modern" development environment with colors, IntelliSense, refactoring...etc, I have a hard time in the evening writing any script in Lemur Editor (on Windows) .
So here a list of improvements I would really like to have in Lemur (I know some items may have been mentioned in other posts but consider it as a renting +1 ):
1 - fix the "Begin" / "End" keys ... really ! each time I use this in Lemur it is like receiving a slap in the face and for my life I can't quit using those keys)
2 - refine the "Undo" function because sometime it doesn't work at all and sometime it reverts to a 10 minutes old script version...
3 - allow common key alternatives for copy/cut/paste like ( Ctrl+Ins/Shift+Ins /Shift+Del)
4 - fix the tab key (i like indented code): it adds two tabs instead of one
5 - scroll the script when selecting text with the keyboard ( Shift+Arrows) and the caret moves out of view.
6 - allow some customization (like editor font selection or at least the font size)
Related to the editor, because sometime you think the focus is in the editor and you start typing (backspace or delete or Arrow keys) but the focus was in the object view or list :
7 - use a strong visual fx to show if the script window is active or not (change background color ?)
8 - just in case add a confirmation message box before deleting objects
