I want to suggest something that has been annoying every time I use MUSHclient. It is that fact that I can't access the main window when I have the script window open. it won't let me do it. I open the trigger window to make a trigger and have to type something on the game while editing the trigger but I can't.

If you would change that it would be a better program. Allow multiple windows to be open. Let me test the trigger with the test trigger window AND have the trigger editor open AND let me scroll up and down on the main window.

Making dialogs non-modal would be a big change, and right now I can't even compile the client because my version of Windows is too old.

As a work-around you can extract out triggers into a plugin (the plugin wizard will do that for you). Then you can edit the plugin in a separate editor (eg. Notepad, Notepad++, Geany) and after you make changes, refresh the script space in MUSHclient with Game -> Reload Script File (Shift+Ctrl+R). Or use File -> Plugins and reload that plugin.

That would give you quite a quick workflow.
