and I really wished the output pane could be used as a listener, so we could ditch the clumsy listener and have a streamlined window for editing and output.
totally agree
Thank for the tip , very useful !!
Maybe we should put up our abbreviations for other to have a look see.
Here are mine so far

Some are obviously specific for my needs, but maybe somebody can use it.
I think especially in the commenting and UI building and CA building department lot of speed can be gained by some well balanced abbreviations.
Has any also checked out the great work Rob is doing over at TAO and I try to follow the http://tech-artists.org/wiki/TAO:Code_Conventions , I think some public accepted abbreviations could help on good coding practice, but that’s me.
@Mathieson, that’s a really good tip!!
Cheers,

do you know if it’s possible to remap the shortcut , I don’t find it very straight forward ??
you must edit the MXS_Editor.properties file.
To do this choose the option ‘open global option file’ from the tool menu.
Search the line ‘# User defined key commands’
and then add a line with your shortcut and the command you need.
you can find the explanation in the ‘[color=white]MAXScript Editor – Defining Custom Keyboard Shortcuts’[/color] tread, from the maxscript help
sorry for my english
cheers
Thank ! this work very well :applause:
the line to add is : Ctrl+?|IDM_ABBREV|
some dotnet one that I often use :rolleyes:

This thread is so usefull Thx to all involved
Should be stickied !!!
Ha Johan you’ve really hit upon a common note < :
FWIW I qwish we could open multiple script windows as well but i don’t think it is possible.
