Yes! It is in a script-only stack behavior of the editor field: https://github.com/livecode/livecode-ide/blob/develop/Toolset/palettes/script%20editor/behaviors/revseeditorbehavior.livecodescript#L1024 There is also the script editor's menu bar code in a script only stack: https://github.com/livecode/livecode-ide/blob/develop/Toolset/palettes/script%20editor/behaviors/revsemenubarbehavior.livecodescript On Wed, Jan 2, 2019 at 11:34 AM Andre Garzia via use-livecode < use-livecode@lists.runrev.com> wrote: > Bob, > > Yes but it is not as ergonomic.
