Hi Jeff,
First off, you have no choice but to keep the library open and switch from
editor to dictionary and refer yourself or copy paste with selections.
As for debugging purposes, sighted people can see that a syntax error generates
a color change where the error is. In the case of us blind users, one solution
is to use the next changed attribute vo shortcut to find where the bug is.
Before this actually becomes relevant, you have to go into the vo preferences
and turn all texts except for error text to one color and error to any other
color, so that you don't have to shuffle through all different attributes like
verb, argument, etc before you get to the error color text.
One more solution is to use xcode instead of the applescript editor and use
xcode's own debugger.
I will track back to the problem of copy pasting.
Here is a snippet from the top of my head to perhaps alleviate the problem:
set list_command to {arg1,arg2,arg3,etc}
display list_command as list with default arg1
On press button
Copy selection
You would compile the script and append it to a shortcut for quick reference.
To make the thing more flexible, you can copy paste all the commands into a tex
file with headers, distinguish the headers with long strings and commands as
singular words.
As you get more versed with commands, you just add them to the text file, and
make an applescript which lists all the commands from the text file by using
the item reference within the document class.
Good luck.
Best
