Would be nice to have better support for writing scripts in any language on the fly. So for example, typing "py" alone right now pops up the internal python editor, but what if plain "sh" gave you an anonymous script in ~/bin?
Related to (and possibly duplicate of) issue 52.

Posted on Jan 13, 2008 by Happy LionCurrently we allow typing just "py" or "sh" which expands into "hotscript py", but we need to figure out what the UI is going to be for this. My ideal would be autosaving scripts, no need to name beforehand. For the beta though we may punt and call out to $EDITOR.
