Script Editor

Script Editor

Script Editor authors every script in the project: a stack of commands run in order, each configured through its own dialog.

Scripts are authored visually by default. The Visual / Code toggle presents the same script as text instead, changing how it is written and stored rather than what it does.

What the individual commands do is documented under Commands.

The Script Editor in Visual format, showing a script as a stack of commands

1 Visual and Code

The same script in Code format

Switches between the command stack and the same script written as text. Visual is the default.

2 Copy

Copies the entire script to the clipboard.

3 Paste

Replaces the script with one from the clipboard.

4 Undo

Steps back through edits made to this script.

5 Redo

Steps forward again.

6 Collapse All

Folds every command down to a single line.

7 Expand All

Opens every command out again.

8 Pop Out

Opens the script in its own window, which is worth doing on a long script — the embedded panel is only as tall as the section hosting it.

Note: In Code view, undo and redo are handled by the text editor itself rather than the script editor, so Ctrl+Z and Ctrl+Y behave as they would in any text box.
