survey: improving the script editor

[Alex Rice]

I have a couple of ideas for plugins to enhance the Rev IDE. I can't 
decide which direction I want to go myself, so thought I could solicit 
some feedback. 2 ideas:

a) An external + plugin that would enable external editor apps (Emacs, 
Vi, BBEdit, Notepad, etc.) to be used for script editing in the IDE. 
(anyone: if it already exists, let me know)

b) A plugin for enhancing the existing IDE script editor. Enhancements 
would be: macro expansions that are customizable by user, and 
context-sensitive code completion at the insertion point while editing. 
Completions would include: transcript keywords, transcript constructs, 
handler names, variable names and property names. (Geoff: if this is 
planned for Rev's script editor, let me know)

If you would find one of these useful, send email to:

If you have an opinion about whether these should be shareware, 
commercial, or open-source, let me know that too, in the message body. 
If shareware or commercial let me know a $ you would honestly value it 
at. Otherwise leave the message body blank.
