This is the kind of thing that will probably be easy to do once someone works 
out how to do text entry in widgets.

It would certainly be an interesting project to work out how to do it. I think 
it would need to be engine level to be fast enough (probably also on a separate 
thread so it doesn’t bog things down) to determine all the symbols that an 
object script might see (engine level, LCB, object hierarchy including 
behaviors, globals). Then the engine would probably need more info than it 
currently has about syntax. Then there’s working out how to present syntax with 
lots of options (I struggled with that with that in atom). Lastly there’s 
repurposing the tabKey in the script editor which lots of people won’t like. 
Lots of interesting things to work out ;-)

Cheers
