Couldn't you make it so right-click lowers terrain when in height mode? It would make an excellent shortcut.

Also, moving around towns/outdoors maps using the keyboard arrow keys is annoyingly slow. For some reason using the mouse at the edge of the viewing pane makes this faster.

Windows 98, 800Mhz.

Apparently still annoying.

I find CTRL - click easy enough. But it would be easier if you made a selection that lets you do basic BoE things, as well as the scripting. So it does all the simple things on it's own - just an idea...

If you read all the docs with the editor, you find the likelihood of Jeff doing any of this is approximately zero. However, he conveniently includes the source code so those who know C can do it themselves. Those of us who don't, on the other hand, are screwed.
(I assume he released the Windows code, too, though I actually don't know. But he definitely let out the Mac stuff.)

He released the Windows code.

And why wouldn't he? I believe he's already released a new version of the Editor, and it somehow looks like Jeff's going to be much more open to releasing updates than he was in the BoE world.
