This is absolutely fantastic. Another similar project has a home page at
http://seleniumrecorder.mozdev.org/

I strongly encourage everyone to work together on this, rather than
fragment the effort in building a rich editor.

Thank you for your feedback.

The "invisible step" idea is something we borrowed from other list-entry
widgets we found in a quick survey of windows applications. I agree it's
not the most intuitive thing (and we can certainly improve the
implementation as you suggested) but we feel it's convenient once you
understand how it works. If anyone can suggest a better widget,
though...

Replay functionality is already (partially) there. If you double-click
on a test step, or press Enter when the test step list has the focus,
the command is executed right away by Selenium (very easy for us to do
since we embed Selenium). Adding a "run" button would be trivial.

Cheers,
--Jonathan
