Hello all, I opened this topic because the other design feedback topic is restricted to Grasshopper and I think a couple of features make more sense for the use case of the ScriptEditor directly in Rhino or are applicable for both. Some ideas I have at the moment: vertical split view to be able …

[image] Rhino 8 ScriptEditor file tabs window feature missings Scripting hi @daniel.kowollik you can browse through the tabs with the scroll wheel on your mouse. But having a list in Window makes sense. RH-84935 Access list of open documents

RH-84942 is fixed in Rhino 8 Service Release 16

This works from top level to bottom level of the exception. Please add this…

@daniel.kowollik Thanks for bringing these up. I have logged both: RH-85987 Clicking on traceback lines should open the file containing error RH-85988 Allow debugging without breakpoints in main code

If the full path does not fit the window title, you can still identify the full path through the hover text, which has exten…

Thanks @daniel.kowollik , i’m just used to have it displayed in the title. Rhino does show long paths in a truncated way if they do not fit into UI elements. Eg. under: Rhino Options > Files > Template Files Maybe this logic could be applied if the dialog is too narrow to display the full path? _…

A great feature would be to have “Go to Declaration” on the context menu of each code line.
