Inserting a blank line in a script

[NewsArchive]

The only way I've been able to accomplish this is by duplicating an existing
comment line and blanking out the text.

Is that the way or am I missing something obvious?

Yes <g>

Or to be more specific...

1. I find it quite easy to Ctrl+C on an existing blank line, then do a
bunch of Ctrl+Vs to paste as many blank lines as I want.
- OR -
2. Script Management section, "Add Script Comment..." Double-click it and
the Add Script Window opens. Hit Enter to save it as a blank line.

Hmm ..

Thanks, Jane.

Friedrich, may I suggest an Insert option in the pop-up menu?!

Well, the documentation says (Interface Options -> Using the Visualizer ->
Hotkeys) that <Ctrl>+<Space> adds a script comment.

But this does not work <g>.

It should read <Shift>+<Space>. Fixed in the documentation now.

Does this help?

It works great as a hotkey to the comments popup.

But as long as Ctrl+Space is available <g>... how about having that insert
a blank comment line (i.e., white space)?

The idea is not too bad <g>. I'll see what I can do.

Thank you!

I think Shift+Space and enter is an excellent solution.

Friedrich,

Maybe I'm oversimplifying, but since the delete key on the keyboard
deletes the currently selected non-blank line in the script editor,
could we have the insert key simply insert a blank line? Or would that
break something else?

No, that's exactly what people would expect. Much better than anything
proposed and as simple as possible.

Yes, this helps a lot, thanks.

Anyway, I still think an insert-blank-line option would be handy. Either in
the menu as I suggested or by means of the insert button as L Jack Wilson
suggests - or even both <g>.

Cool. Just needed this.
