Agreed.  That was part of my thinking when I built devolution's Object 
Browser.  It has a Script column in the object list showint the number 
of lines in a script, and double-clicking in that column will open the 
script editor for that object.  Cards and stacks have a similar 
functionality accessed from a context menu in those lists.

Relying on key commands runs the risk of conflicting with something you 
might be doing, but having a separate mechanism like devo's Object 
Browser not only lets you get to those scripts but also to scripts which 
you might not otherwise be able to get to, like groups, hidden, or 
off-screen objects.
