Yes, either that or the Atomic symbol.

Note that I see the cloud symbol, but perhaps we could use a symbol that's more user-friendly? Or maybe a picture, like with this block:
turn ccw () degrees

Anyone?
Perhaps a fast-forward icon?

Perhaps. Or a running person or an atom… whatever the symbol for turbo mode.

Support!

I think that a custom block should have a small icon next to it if it runs without screen refresh, like a variable has an icon next to it when it's a Cloud variable. Since the cloud variable's icon is a cloud, the custom block icon should be a nuclear or atomic symbol. This could help people if they have a lot of custom blocks.

Haha. Atomic. Makes sense.

Anyway support. I could start putting the atom symbol into my custom block names.

Maybe a lightning symbol like: ϟ

Also, support.

Omg the atomic symbol worked on iOS but on my laptop it's a square
Maybe we should keep it simple with
define ▶▶ custom definition

I fully support this idea. I suggest using a skip-forwards symbol, or an atom symbol, and it doesn't matter that the character can't be rendered in some browsers because it could be inserted as an image into scratch.

But lightning is awesome. Lightning = speed. Atomic = mushroom explosion.

I said atomic symbol because code that runs all at once is called atomic.

Support. Oh, and 500th post :-)

I think a fast-forward icon would be best. Plus I think ► is the most supported symbol (in terms of whether the computer can display it) that has been suggested.

Then I wouldn't have to right click on every custom block and then scroll down until I find the “run without screen refresh” marked

These are the symbols I like most:
▶ play symbol - Half-Support because it represents speed, but not that fast.
▶▶ skip forward symbol - Support because it kind of represents speed, same thing as below.
ϟ lightning symbol - Support because the speed of a lightning is pretty fast, and the speed of custom blocks that run without screen refresh is also pretty fast.

Support! I would prefer the fast forward symbol btw.

define ▶▶ skip forward symbol (credit to theonlygusti for idea and MegaApuTurkUltra for symbol)
