This is going to totally screw up a macro I've been using for 15+ years. I know

there's an option to turn it off, or supply your own key combination.
LOL. I haven’t been using the control-tab for 15 years to switch between edit
and run modes. However, I had been using it for 3 years. Yes it was painful for
me to switch my favorite key sequence. But it had to be done.
The control-tab “fix” I’m proposing will only effect MacOS users and I would
not expect Linux or Windows users to be effected at all by the MacOS
control-tab. If you are on Linux/Windows it should not matter whether the
Script Editor is top window or not.
I don’t expect an easy adoption of this “new” key combination by Livecode. If
adopted, I would also not expect an option to turn it on/off or change the
combo as the behavior is considered to be a standard key combo of MacOS, right?
If you are using control-tab with a custom macro, see if control-` might work
for you. If not, possibly option-tab?
I used Cmd-tab for 20 years, which was the HC standard before LC, and
painfully switched to Control-tab when Apple stole that key combo from
us. I don't want to do that again.
But since the change only affects the script editor, it isn't as drastic
as I was afraid of.
