more info please

I like this idea!  If I understand correctly, it's about the variable reporter blocks, which you use to output the value of a variable to another block. 

Right now, there are separate blocks for each variable.  If you want to change out a variable somewhere in your program, you have to pull out the variable reporter and replace it with a new one.

The suggestion is to make the variable reporter blocks have drop-down menus, so you could change between variables.  This would be handy.  Another possibility would be to make it so you can change using a right-click menu (like the arithmetic blocks for +, -, *, /), but that would be inconsistent with the other variable blocks.

Is that what you meant?

could be a good idea... would save projects with a huge number of veriables time

It would be a good idea... But how would you check/uncheck the little boxes? You'd only be able to have one variable displayed...

maybe like this example:
it would show up like this

[]  (variable)
[]  (variable)

When you Drag it into the place you want it,it would switch to ([variable^]).

[] are checkboxes

It would also make the dragging of the blocks harder.

If you hold it down you could pick it up and when you quickly click it the thing pops up.

Oh. I always thought it wouldn't drag that way.
