If the toggle is either in-window or in the SE's View menu that would be
great.
I would caution against adding more stuff to the Prefs window, for
reasons too lengthy to indulge in here.
I also like the suggestion to color the suggested handler names slightly
gray to further distinguish them from those that actually exist.
Ideally the gray would be slightly darker than the one used to indicate
disabled state, just gray enough to distinguish them.
And as long as we're improving the SE UX, can we please allow the
background color preference setting to affect both panes in the SE, the
editing field (as it does now) and also the handler list (not yet)?
Bug 11204 - Script Editor Enhancement: use same color for both editing
field and handler list
<http://quality.livecode.com/show_bug.cgi?id=11204>
Background and foreground colors are VERY important for long typing
sessions, but the value of supporting them here is compromised by
requiring that the handler list always remain stark white.
When we adjust colors we usually do so to reduce contrast to mitigate
eye strain, but with the handler list color non-settable it quickly
becomes the most visually-dominant element in the window, even though it
has a very secondary role compared to the main editing field.
