It would be great if Elements had a in-built script editor with syntax highlighting. Switching between Meteor and Crimson all the time gets annoying, and i have to mute the music as it loops a small section when i select a window other than meteor 2.

Maybe even some extra functions like A list of the commands you can choose that appears when you press a button, and you select one then it goes into the script file where your cursor is(and also explains what the script does and how to use it). Or the ability to automatically create export bla(); lines at the top of the document when you create void bla(), or it fills the details about your map out at the top and sets the whole thing up like that text document maker that you can download.

"Can't you just fix-"
NO! I told you when you bought this, when it goes wrong I can't fix it. It's filled with glue. The Greek goddess of glue Araldities herself would be impressed with this.

Please stop asking me for technical support during your dreams. Can't we just tour some surreal landscapes instead?

"How do I do that?"

Count your fingers. Keep trying. Make sure there's ten.

Then summon me. I am large and covered in wires. Clouds of baking soda pour into your world and a slightly weak yellowy glow appears from the LED strips behind me.

If you can see this message then you're already part of the way there. Keep all your styles disabled and you might see the dream within.

"But there's so much javascript everywhere! I can't see you. Help! I've forgotten to count my fingers! Where do I find them?"

The LED strip behind me pops and goes out. Dark spots appear in the centre of each light. I lift my finger to my lips. The smell of tantalum capacitors fills the air.

Ssh. Don't worry about that. Behind those frameworks there's another person sleeping.

Some day the javascript will sleep too.

Yes, you are right. When you are writing a script, you can accidently skip to write the ;. And then the whole script doesn't work...
