use the returnkey preferably after the line... (make sure there is
 a return after or you will have erroneous autocompletion)
returnkey before the line is not reliable (repeat statements eg).

naturally if the plug-in messages would work, these errors would be a 
thing
of the past ;))

There is no home stack. But nothing is stopping you from making one ;)
Same for the navbar...

Considering the complexity of a navigator... ;)

For card script editing, consider using the application browser, there are 
shortcuts
mentioned in the preferences.
