Interesting, I haven't seen that problem, at least not in regards to indentation. I have seen the script editor fairly frequently highlight code outside a block comment in green as if it were inside it. The code still executes OK but a bit scary the first time I saw it happen. Pete lcSQL Software

Thanks Monte. I agree with your choice. FYI, the LC module for Textmate does it per your first example with the case, and all the statements under it at the same indent level, not pretty. Pete lcSQL Software Home of lcStackBrowser

Hi Mike, There's already a plugin for that, the STS MLXEditor plugin. I'm using that and it works great. Right now, I'm liking TextMate better than Atom for editing stack scripts because it does the automatic indentation I mentioned, but maybe there's a way a setting in Atom to control that? Under

The point isn't to use it for general purpose script editing. The point is to use it for LCB and LC Server scripts, and for libraries and other things that aren't all hooked into the IDE. Libraries are a good example, because if there are multiple people working on it, if the library is stored in

I need a lot more info before I could start using this. I read the "instructions" for the linter plugin for livecode, but it makes no sense, and adding what they have there to the config file and putting the path to Livecode (I assume that is what they are looking for) throws an error in Atom.
