Easier text input. (Text box style)
Java has text boxes, so why shouldn't scratch? It is an extremely long and boring process to make a number/letter input system, and you could make a simple interface, like enable copying and pasting, and treat it/them like sprites, where you can have "movement" blocks with them, and be able to set what was typed in the box to a variable/list. You should be able to customize them too, like changing there color and shape/size.

I've tried, but the script is so long, it slows my computer to a stand still. The hard part is doing that with numbers though cause of how number systems work. you can make a sysem that allows 1 digit inpur easy, but 2 digits means that for every "IF key # is pressed, add set input to #", you must have a copy of all the number input "ifs" inside of that "if" for mutiple digit input, so it takes forever.
