One of the promoted strengths of LiveCode is that it is "live coding". In other words I can make a change in my script and immediately see the effect. Now while I understand the virtues of using the external text editor of your choice. With your example of XCode and an external editor, is it possible to set breakpoints and single step through the code in your preferred external editor? When debugging in the live coding environment which is LiveCode I expect to be able single step through *and* edit my code in the one place with more than the current rudimentary facilities. While I give Geany as an example cause I like it, it is known as a very light-weight IDE, so it is not a totally unreasonable starting point for the minimum of what an adequate editor should be capable of. By all means allow external editors, but my point is the current LiveCode IDE Script Editor is *not even adequate* and having external plugin editors doesn't fully work around the usability issues. -- Scott McDonald "Components, Controls, Tools and Resources for LiveCode" www.runrevplanet.com _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
