So first and foremost: I'm really enjoying messing with the GMS2 beta. It give me an opportunity to "test the waters" as it were. The room editor, the more customizable IDE, it's all great!
The problem: The way the current code editor works, it really tends to slow me down.
It works like so. You click an event to edit/create, it opens the script in the workspace with the object properties. Ok. Cool! The issue with that is most of the time, I'm using the "maximized" code editor. So when I open another event script, I have to manually maximize that- OH BUT WAIT! It takes that script into it's own workspace, rather than moving to the workspace with the other scripts of the same object.
My suggestion: When selecting an event to edit, have the IDE automatically detect whether or not there's a workspace with scripts of that object, and move it there. Auto sorting the events would be a nice option too (IE: placing the create event as the first tab).
Another unlikely suggestion: I'd personally prefer there to be an option of having a "mini" code editor that pops out of the IDE (ala GMS1.4 style) instead of the entirely separate workspace. Maybe I'd use the pop out workspaces if the scripts opened there when selected, but meh.
Just a few thoughts I jotted down.
Thanks for your time.
