A question/survey of sorts for users of Navigator

[chipsm themartinz.com]

Hi Geoff, 
I use Navigator on all of my projects. 
I like the ideas that you are proposing.
I would like one more item: I am a believer of using behaviors. And, I am also setting behaviors to behaviors and I would like those behaviors that have behaviors have the ability to show colors, just like the coloring option that cards  have.
Great Product!

Sincerely,
Clarence Martin

Subject: A question/survey of sorts for users of Navigator

After twenty years, I still use Navigator every time I open LiveCode, and still think of new features.

One of the very first things I put in Navigator was to make double-clicking a control open the script for that object, because I edit scripts far more often than I set properties.

There are now many ways to do other things with controls, and you can configure double-click to do something else if you want.

But today, I was putting label fields onto a card and editing the contents of them (also one of the first things I set up in Navigator, because it bugged me to have to use the properties palette, and the second tab of it at that, to edit the contents of a field) and it occurred to me: I almost never put a script in a label field, but I edit their contents all the time.

So: what if you could easily configure Navigator to do different things by default when you double-click? Double-click a button: edit script.
Double-click a field with "label" in the name, edit its contents.
Double-click a set of controls: open alignment for them. Double-click a freehand graphic, edit its points. Not sure about that last one, and maybe the label example is the only real use case.

But let me know if this is something that would be useful.
