Tag/Resref Lookup in the Script Editor

Rinehardt

One of the most annoying and time consuming tasks when scripting is having to look up an object's tag or resref when you have the script editor open with several scripts loaded. You have to close every script, then close the script editor, and then hunt for the object in its respective list. I propose a function key or hotkey that when pressed in the script window, will bring up a search window with a text input field. You just start typing the name of the object, and it shows a list of possible matches with the tags and resrefs next to the names. You then click the tag or resref to have that tag or resref inserted where you left the cursor in the script editor.

If that's a bit too much work, how about having another button on the window to the right (functions, constants, etc) that lists all the object names with their tags and resrefs? Not quite as convenient, but much better than what we have now.

A ... menu for this like we have for selecting transitions would be wonderful anytime we're looking up a tag object.

Oh my god that would make everything so much easier!

Or, more simply perhaps, allow an object property window to open concurrently with the script editor window.
