Bug or "feature"? + 1 wish

This is a thing I've been wondering about for a while:

Why is it that when I program, I must use a dot as decimal and when I type in a value in a value box, I must use a comma as decimal? I get the conflict between dot and comma in the programming environment, but shouldn't it be more consistent to use the dot as decimal all over Modul8? Or probably even better: that both comma and dot would work as decimal in a value box.

And now for my wish:
It would be very nice ot have shortcuts for the different script types (Init, MessageEvent, DirectEvent, etc). It would save a lot of time when programming modules. Has the programming editor ever been updated? It's about time to add some features...

Hello Fry_up,

the dot in the programming language is a Python choice. The comma/dot in the textfields depends on your international settings. If SysPref | International | Formats, you choose English/US, you will enter numbers in textfield with a dot.

But you are right, Cocoa Text field used in the editor conform to the Formats settings, while our custom textfield does not. I will add this to our buglist.
