Script Editor focus (was Re: Threading (plus random question)_

[Mike Kerner]

This may be related to fixing the other focus issue that was causing me to
toss lappies about, namely when the SE LOST the focus, and a
delete/backspace caused carefully crafted objects to magically die (while
their SE tab remained open).

I'm with you, I like the enter shortcut, but I'm also all for adding a
preference to let the developer decide.

On the second day, God created the oceans.
On the third day, God put the animals on hold for a few hours,
   and did a little diving.
And God said, "This is good."
