It would be nice to have node based maxscript editor, there we have acces to all parameters from objects and link, what we wants to each other and every parameter will be exposed here..

Popup help and description for commands and autocompletes for commands and user variables

When working on larger projects with multiple script files, or when comparing code between files, it would be important to be able to have more than a single script window visible at a time.

almost all famous/ even small free utils have this feature. also i can see, autodesk using scite as scripting IDE. really love this. if this one missing feature is added. life will be lot easier for all scripters.

The Matlab editor has a great feature that allows you to select a bunch of code and then auto-indent this code, based on the code blocks (brackets etc.). This would be really nice for copy-pasting code around.

It's really hard to edit and customize colors for the maxscript editor - almost a trial and error editing those properties files. One really useful thing would be a friendly color configuration/color scheme management for reserved words types, background and a few pre-defined schemes like bright, dark, high contrast...

Double-click/select a variable name in the MAXScript editor and all the other occurrences of that text will automatically be highlighted. This behavior can be tested in Notepad++ and is extremely useful for quickly finding the places where a variable is modified, a function defined etc.

Also use SciTe editor inside Pflow

There is no history dropdown in the open file dialog. Also if it would keeps its folder scope dedicated instead of e shared with the rest of max. Example open a script from the scripts folder. Create and Object add a Point Cache create a save file for it and confirm, go back to Maxscript editor and open a script :(

It is, somewhat, easy to edit MaxScript files and execute them from external text editors using Max's COM bridge. Please expose the MXS interpreter's call stack and the MXS debugger's output to external applications. This would allow for the community to develop and maintain higher quality MaxScript IDEs if they wanted to. Like creating an MXS language plugin for Microsoft Visual Studio Shell or some other IDE framework.

You should be able to see a translation of your actions into script so that, for example, when you have repetitive tasks to do you can copy and paste the script from one scene to another. This way you can make a script without knowing exactly every command of maxscript.
This is something very helpfull in maya and I am wondering why then listener window doesn't behave the same way in max.

It would be nice if the user could change that.

Change the default maxscript editor font(s) to a monospaced font (remove Comic Sans MS from the options, it doesn't make sense).

I like to maximize the maxscript editor on my second monitor. If a script I'm working on throws an error, the maxscript editor window un-maximizes and becomes a floating window again. I understand this happens because if the window was closed it needs to open it to show the location of the error. But it seems that you can do a simple check to see if it's already open.

You're typing away, you alt+tab to the help file or calculator, when you alt+tab back, max should remember that you're in the editor and give it focus so you can get back to typing (with the cursor right where you left it).

pretty self explanatory - same as you have 'maxscript', 'text', 'html', etc. Color coding definitions for c# and visual basic.

When working in the Editor, and then leaving Max to do something in another program, when coming back the Editor no longer has focus and I need to click on the window again before I can continue editing.
