on edit script - auto bring top and highlite on mouseUp

Post by BarrySumpter »

Hi all,
When I rightClick Edit script on a button
is there a way to find the on MouseUp event
bring it to the top of the script editor in the IDE and hightlight it?
All my best,

I want the IDE to do this automatically.
It's distracting and I loose my focus having to chase it down every time.

I'm not sure how the IDE could know which handler you want to display.

You can type "on mouseup" into the search box (type Cmd/Cntrl-F if it isn't showing) and do a one-time search. After that, Cmd-G will find it again until you change it.

As Jacque says, how could the program know which handler in a script you are targeting?

What I do is place the handlers or functions that I am currently working one at the top. Invariably, I am returning to one or two of these over and over again as I work through some aspect of a project. Just relocate them above all the others, and they will be ready when you return to the script editor.

If anyone has a script that will allow me to access the IDE script editor
would you please post it?

I'll have a look around and see what trouble I can get into.
All my best,
