I never use the mouse to add/insert Methods, Properties, Notes ext. You can use the keyboard.

Option Command M        = New Method
Option Command N        = New Note
Option Command E        = New Event
Option Command H        = New Menu Handler

As for looking at all the source of a class at the same time, or editing the names of method, properties, etc: well that's something that could be requested. I can see your point though. It would be cool to be able to see all the source etc at once.

Not trying to sound argumentative, but if i can't insert a new method
without resorting to the mouse (if I can't write all my code without
resorting to the mouse for that matter), then I would say that this is not better (for me). Of course "better" and "normal" are subjective terms, so
quibble with your quibble :)

RB's editor reminds me of Macromedia's built-in Actionscript editor, which I
have used a lot. Also, there are more than a few external Actionscript
editors which to me says that more than a few people don't like this style of coding (including me). I don't have to use it for a week to know that I
don't like it.

I see that RB can read/write an XML file format and they have a plugin
interface which would open the doors for external editors, but I haven't
found any.

Thanks.
