The action editor is a specialize text editor adapted for editing a program code.
Popup proposals.
When pressing the Ctrl-Space, a popup menu with some functions and objects of JavaScript shows up on the screen. One can choose a necessary point from the list and then the editor will insert a proper line/string into a text.
If you began to enter a function name and pressed the Ctrl-Space, only alternatives corresponding to the input line will be left in the popup menu.
Autocomplete.
This function allows to insert standard language constructions into a text automatically. For this you need to enter 2-5 key constructions (identifier of construction) and press the combination Ctrl-J. The editor inserts the whole construction instead of the key word.

Additional options
Expand Variables in the script - If to switch on this mode, the RoboTask expands all inserts of variables in a text before running of the script.
Save Final script into variable – If it is necessary to monitor the final text of the script, switch on this checkbox and enter the variable name. This mode is need only for control and checkout. The fact of the matter is that the substitution of variable values can break down the syntax of a script text. By means of this mode it is possible to get the final script and analyze it if it is necessary.
The field of a log is under the editor. The messages about runtime errors of the script are output into this field. Also the text of messages LogMessage is output here.
