I suggest

3 Refactor script into smaller parts

Big scripts are quite hard to handle and a scollbar is sometimes a good
solution. But often is a big script a sign forma refactoring of the code
into smaller and more manageable

Another suggestion:
It would be nice to be able to collapse pats of scipts into single lines
like a directory file browser.
