It would be soo nice if we had a button in the script and note card window that allows us to print to a printer directly instead of copy/paste to a .doc or .txt or what ever else people use.

Also would be nice for scripts to hold the color formatting while hitting the print feature so the printouts look like the scripts on screen. Easier to offline edit.

and well a debugger would be nice too as suggested many times b4 by others.

This really isnt needed, and besides, why would you need ot print out your scripts?

For manual debugging. It's nice to be able to #wield a pen or highlighter and scribble to my little heart's content on a printout. 's good to be able to spread an entire script out on the floor, instead of only 1 screen's worth at a time.

Aww comeon guys, what's wrong with copy+paste into textpad or something? (textpad has syntax highlighting and prints source code awesome)

How would you go about setting that up Garoad?

Go here to download Textpad (don't worry, it's a "trial" version but the only catch I know of is the splash screen on startup):

Textpad download

You could also use MSVC or some other IDE.

Just copy your script in SL, and paste into Textpad/MSVC/etc.

The easiest way to get syntax highlighting is to just save the file as a .cpp. Some variables like "integer", "string", "vector", etc won't highlight since they aren't C++ keywords, but I'd be surprised if there isn't a way to add your own keyword highlighting.

I don't use it much really but it's a nifty little no-frills editor that's designed for code and HTML.

I dunno...I figure using a program like that probably gives you more flexibility and power than the integrated editor will ever offer (not to mention saving LL the time to implement this)...
