Default Button

I think there are still a few things in the edges and corners of Livecode
that have been ignored and worked around, and bug reports not filed.

 A good example of an popup menu that is on the plugin Settings panel in the
Development menu. The popup list, in addition to being the stack file names
as opposed to stack names, is also not alphabetized.   This has been this
way since at least version 2.x of Rev

A little thing, probably not worth fixing, but an IDE anomaly that irks me
every time I have to do something with plugins. But I don't spend a lot of
time configuring plugins.

Give a choice between fixing these little things, I'd rather have them
continue their building the a new full featured text field or built-in SFTP
support.

Regarding the default button issue -  quite frankly I'd rather have Livecode
give me the primitives and give me the ability to work with the messages.
 So adding a simple script to activate it isn't that big a deal. If the
button automatically sent out messages on return, it might require a script
somewhere to defeat that automatic behavior.

Probably a design decision that didn't get reflected in the docs.
