Better setting and variable editors

Question

Originally submitted to Google Code by on 14 Sep 2009

Setting editors in 0.17 and earlier are pretty annoying especially when you need to edit a setting with multiple values (e.g. tags or arguments to keywords). In 0.18 this is changed so that all values are typed into a single input field and different values are separated with a pipe character surrounded by spaces (e.g. 'tag | another tag | third tag'). This makes editing easier and allows copy/paste.

Comments about the new editors are appreciated so that we can enhance them in the future.

I got an error when trying to test out the latest version of the RIDE code (dated September 14, 2009). When I clicked on the Edit button next to Tags I got this stack dump:
