Drop- downs for variable names
On the variable blocks such as [blocks]<change{ variable name }by( ,[/blocks] there are drop to choose which variables, which is very handy. I think there should be drop downs for [blocks] <{ variable name }> [/blocks] blocks as well. It would make it quicker when using lots of variables.

Re: Drop- downs for variable names
Or like on operations, if you right click it gives you choices. I have always wanted this, especially for renaming variables!

Re: Drop- downs for variable names
Good idea. I am actually implementing this in Streak 0.2, so that you can use this functionality when it comes out.

Re: Drop- downs for variable names
Maybe not right click, but rather left click? Courtesy to Mac users(I"m one of them)? That's be nice. That's a good idea, it would save a lot of space. But then you wouldn't be able to see the variable that you just created, if it's not the first alphabetically. But it's a very good idea.
I am working on a project. http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/fmasroor/1504554 Please fix it up to fit the goals in this project. http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/fmasroor/1506511
