The script editor right now is nice and simple, but it lacks some basic functionality that most IDEs have. Keep in mind I am talking about the
external RC, not the scripted one.
No one uses the scripted one.
1. Function Jumping
Similar to how it's implemented in most IDEs, function jumping would be wonderful. I think it'd work best placed on the bottom. Also, the ability to jump between functions (e.g. CTRL + ALT + UP/DOWN) to jump entire functions.
2. Increase/Decrease Indent
The ability to select a block of code and increase or decrease the indent of the entire block would be great. This could be a right-click feature, but there should also be a keyboard shortcut. CTRL + ALT + LEFT/RIGHT seems fine to me, but that may be used for something.
3. Collapsing and Expanding
Collapsing and expanding functions would be wonderful when working with 4000+ line scripts.
4. CTRL + S to apply
ALT + A is a fine keyboard shortcut, but I'd prefer something like CTRL + S since it's used more universally and it just "feels" better. This one is kinda silly, but I think if you're going to release a new RC, it'd be worth adding.
5. Find and Replace
Wordpad has it, even Notepad has it; find and replace would be one of the most useful things that could be added to RC's script editor. Another handy feature would be the ability to search up rather than down (finding previous occurrences).
