Okay. So that's the idea behind this all. Maybe there could also be a block like
start script [myscript v] :: events
so you have something like 
broadcast [myscript v]
when I receive [myscript v]
. It's more or less like a class and an ID in CSS. And a script name must be unique, yes?

The broadcast block is basically already a “start script” block. Every hat block has a different way of starting so the start script block isn't necessary.

Yes, but maybe you have stopped a script and want to just restart it directly or whenever you want. But I can't think of an example.

I think that it's like the illegal OP codes on the 6502: They can become handy but only in special cases so it's not sooo important.
I think that they're actually not really needed.

For that I think the broadcast method makes more sense. It would get confusing to have a greenflag block being activated by something other than the green flag, etc. Instead you could do this:

when green flag clicked
broadcast [start project v]

when I receive [start project v] // name = startProject
forever
turn cw (999) degrees
end

when [spacebar v] key pressed // stop project
stop script [startProject v] :: control

when [a v] key pressed // start again
broadcast [start project v]

Okay, this block is garbage.
So I think that the final idea the team should implement is:
  • You can give hat blocks a script name
  • You do this by right-clicking on them
  • They have no name by default
  • You have a block to stop a script by name

I agree with all of this! How would you display the name, would anyone be able to make a mockup?

I would say, either like this:
when this sprite clicked - name: myscript:: events :: hat //or
when this sprite clicked - name: [myscript]:: events :: hat
or like this:
when this sprite clicked //name: myscript
Sorry, my photoshop skills are not good so I used scratchblock, an awesome thing.

I like the second, although maybe the input could be a different colour to make sure people know it's a name, not part of the script? Maybe the colour of comments?

More like a dropdown menu, I would say, or just the first one. You change the name with a right-click.

How about all the events/control hat blocks are like
when @greenFlag clicked @addInput::events hat
where when the button is pressed:
when @greenFlag clicked - script name [script1]::events hat
and you have
[start v] script [script1 v]::events

Yes, the idea of stop and start in one block is good, since a single block for starting is pretty pointless, but may make sense in certain casas. but the default should be stop.
Hmm, I think that the function script name should always be visible. But that's my opinion.

Maybe, maybe not. Just don't be impatient – dark mode was suggested years ago and the Scratch Team will probably add it but they decided to work on more important things first.

But a dark mode is much harder to make then a variation of the stop other scripts in sprite block. This could be added in half an hour.

I don't think so. But even if it could – less than or equal and greater than or equal operators could be implemented in a few minutes, but they were suggested in 2013, even Paddle2See thinks they should be added and we still haven't got them.

Stop a Certain Script Block

But you can use
<not <[] > []>>
instead of
<[] smaller or equal [] :: operators> // I had an argument with Scratchblocks
so there's an easy workaround what should give this a low priority. But there's not really a workaround for this.
