Moi:
if Brian or anyone else wants to Bugzillia this request, it's got
5 votes from moi.
I decided to BZ this myself, thus allowing me to define the request
myself'. >:-}
I have requested the following enhancement to the Script Editor:
On July 13th, Brian Yennie posted RE: Dependence on Programming
Experts a returnInField script that converts the string "x =
[whatever]" to "put [whatever] into x".
This suggests a basic "script line translation" function that enables
each developer to create personal scripting syntax and/or keyboard
shorthand that can be converted to existing Revolution syntax by
script BEFORE compilation by the Script Editor.
My initial concept for this is a scrolling field maintained from by
the SE, where the developer can store a script line filter to
translate his/her syntax/ shorthand to legal Revolution syntax.
Another possibility is a stack-specific script line filter where one
could insert a shorthand for variable names that would extend to
longer, more descriptive names in the stored script.
You can vote for this at
<http://support.runrev.com/bugdatabase/show_bug.cgi?id=3740>.
Thanks again to Brian for showing the way.
