Ho Jacque,
Just been playing around with this and there seems to be a problem using
command-z to undo - leaves garbage in the script field?

Yes, it can do that. The insertions the script makes aren't known to the editor. Undo is tracked by character position and those have changed behind its back. I've become so used to it that I automatically save the script after I use any of the frontscript features. Since the script was always just for my personal use, I never bothered to harden it.

Last week I added a variation on Peter Brigham's "type space" fix, which I've been meaning to do for ages. I haven't tested it much but so far it's working. Forcing the editor to recognize the script changes may also fix the undo problem (but I haven't really paid attention to that yet.) Anyway, here's what I'm using now:

on commandKeyDown whichKey
if ("editor field" is not in the name of the target and "script" is not in the name of the target) \
        or the shiftkey is not down
  then pass commandKeyDown
  switch whichKey
    case quote
    case "'"
      put quote & the selection & quote into the selection
      break
    case "v" -- paste only plain text
      put the clipboardData["text"] into the selection
      break
    case "9"
    case "0"
    case "("
    case ")"
      put "(" & the selection & ")" into the selection
      break
    case "["
    case "]"
    case "{"
    case "}"
      get the selection
      put "[" & it & "]" into the selection
      if it = "" then
        put the selectedchunk into tSel
        put word 4 of tSel into word 2 of tSel
        put (word 4 of tSel) - 1 into word 4 of tSel
        select tSel
      end if
      break
    case " " -- scriptPaint
      put the mousetext into the selection
      break
    default
      pass commandKeyDown
  end switch
  setEditorDirty
end commandKeyDown

private command setEditorDirty
  type space
  delete char (word 4 of the selectedchunk) of the target
end setEditorDirty
