Default Lua (and EEL?) script editing

(a) when Ctrl+s is pressed to save and execute the script:
(a1) do not reset the graphics window to its initial size
(a2) keep the focus on the Editing window (currently, we have to click back into it to continue editing)

(b) if possible allow // as a comment indicator (as in JS FX and EEL), as well as --

[Rats, forgot to add the poll ]

While we're on the editor... Allow user colouring to match our own editor settings please?

I set up NP++ for EEL and then Lua some time ago -it would be nice to have consistency in keyword colouring.

Plus, what he said ^^

(c) in the variables browser, show the number of references (as in JS FX Editor)

And, even better, in all IDEs:
(d) show the number of 'write' references and 'read' references separately (I often want to know how many times a variable is changed, rather than just accessed

(e) let me minimise the IDE window to get it temporarily out of the way, at the moment I have to drag it almost off-screen or close it (then on re-opening, I have lost my context)

(f) use the same colour syntax scheme in all IDEs (JS FX, Lua and EEL):



PS: I would still like invocations of user-defined functions to be coloured too.

Heresy I tell ya.

Being more serious though, I'm currently studying Ruby and man, what a nice language.
