Quick Jump to a Custom Block in Editor

griffpatch

It's probably not a problem for most people, but once the number of custom blocks on a sprite start to increase it becomes harder to locate them!
What I'd really like is a way to jump straight to a named custom block in the editor… My suggestion would be to do so when a user double clicks on the custom block within the left hand pane where all the custom blocks are already listed under the ‘more blocks’ section? That would be awesome!

Definitely need. Though instead of double-clicking, how about a right-click option. Double-clicking would run the script twice.

As ProdigyZeta said, there could be another dropdown option.

YES!

Reeeeaaallly wished for this ever since I worked on InterXeptor! (OK, so my total lack of script organisation probably didn't help…)
An extra right-click menu item for custom blocks that scrolls the editor pane to the point where you can see the custom block definition would be soooo helpful - I mean, the amount of time I've spent hunting down some of those things…

(I think I mentioned it in a forum post a long time ago? - IIRC, it was a topic started by Wes64 giving some suggestions & glitches).

EDIT: Found it: http://scratch.mit.edu/discuss/post/20837/
Nice to see a good number of those original points by Wes64 were implemented/fixed, and have made a noticeable difference.
Couple of others still worth looking at, I think (plus “letters M to N of STRING”)…

That would be really helpful - that and a search function for where certain variables are set.

This needs more support.

Have you ever heard of Snap! ?

It's a bit like Scratch, only it contains all the features that Scratch needs to add, but hasn't.

How does Snap! handle this kind of functionality?

Right click the block, click edit and ta-da! You're in the custom-block editor.

It's a bit like Scratch, only it contains all the features that Scratch needs to add, but hasn't because said features are most likely to hard for young, beginning programmers, who are a large part of Scratch's audience.

How would that work with the way Scratch does custom blocks?

The way that the OP suggested.

I've heard that there's no necroposting in Suggestions, so can I bump this??

Also, cool, griffpatch made this!

Well, there is in some cases (ex. implemented features), but it should be okay because there was what seems to be a duplicate, and it's still relevant (this was actually in Scratch 2.0 [added in an update] but got removed, so it should be fine to post here now).
