List or search all handlers in IDE

Post by bn » Sat Feb 28, 2026 9:25 am

Hi,

on the use-list there was a discussion how to find handlers in the IDE. Here is stack that searches all scriptifyed (".livecodescript") scripts in the current version of LC. Andreas and Craig were interested in the topic.

Leave search field empty and hit return to get all handler names. Clicking on a line with a handler will open it in Script Editor. Change type of search using option button. "contains" works best for me.
Be careful not to mess up your IDE. This is a very bare bone stack for my personal use.
The stack should work for LC versions that are scriptified, i.e. at least 9.x.x and up. Use at your own risk, especially do not save an IDE stack whent inspecting and accidentally changing an IDE stack. Just closing the stack without saving is OK.
As of 10.0.4-rc1 the stack finds 6066 handlers...

Kind regards
Bernd
