To be able to do it in the editor would be fabtastic.

Yeah that would be one great use. He could also add other options, to make what you just said easier. For instance, adding a prefix to all the strings, or removing a prefix. Same for variables. Can't think about the params it would follow, but, thats Stefans job
.
Also, a checkpoint thing. Basicly, you have a button on the side which says "Place Checkpoint" and it does something like
//#Checkpoint_1
Then at the top it has a dropdown list with all the checkpoints...this would be very good for when you have a rather long script, and you need to navigate it quickly (for testing or debugging).
Oh andin case no one could tell, the find/replace thing would also be a simple find thing like in notepad. It would be where you could leave the bottom box blank, and it would locate that word whenever you pressed it (order from top to bottom of course).
Heh, and the last idea I have is like the checkpoint, only its auto. It would read all the locations of variables (when you set them, alter them, such things like that) and at the top it would have a drop down list title Variables. You then can easily navigate through by selecting the variable from list (only 1 instance of each) then clicking the find button, in which it will take you to that variable (once again, top to bottom) and maybe even highlight its value for easy altering. Same thing for strings.
Heh, if anyone else got anymore ideas for it, please post it. I don't think the ones I just posted should be very hard to add, so Stefan, if it isn't hard to add, please do so =).
