Any others?

Not to be considered as an objection, but if Script Editor menus would be moved, it would be many moons before I retrain my fingers to move mouse pointer to the new place. Motor memory, you know :)

Indeed I do.

I'll make that change only in my forked copy of the MC Script Editor right now. Then you can play with it a bit to see how it works out for you. Sometimes the best way to determine if something is what you want it to just build it and see.

FWIW, I've been using it like this since yesterday and I've been surprised by how easy it is to retrain the muscles on this one. Perhaps the ease here is that while you're looking some MC muscle memory, it's because of a change that lets you capitalize on the muscle memory developed over years of Mac use.


Also, if you move Script Editor menus to menubar, I hope at least command + F would look for TopStack to distinguish what to do because currently command + F displays very different find dialogs in Script Editor and in general IDE

That's one of the symptoms of the not having the SE menus to the menubar.

When I need to find some variable in script, command + C -> command + F --> command + V -> enter key sequence is more than motor skill, it's almost unconditional reflex and I would feel "disabled" without it.

Same goes with command+ G (find again in script editor) as opposed to command + G (group) in general IDE

Yep, another upside to replacing the menubar is that it handles the keyboard triggers; it's not bad once the menus are where the OS expects them. :)
