Script Parameterization
https://github.com/openscad/openscad/wiki/Project:-Form-based-script-parameterization
is one of the future goals of OpenSCAD. With the help of event handler
capability in SynWrite editor, I did a lil experiment to create something
I'd call "In-Doc UI" (user-interface) to achieve some basic features of that
goal:

My adventure on using the SynWrite editor for OpenSCAD carries a huge step
further. The idea of "in-doc ui" developed previously is abandoned (because
it requires extra typing on the script). The new approach is called
"Click-Change", with that it's now possible to do some amazing script
parameterization with mouse clicks. See the video  on youtube
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rNkvXI-PQsU&feature=youtu.be  if the
animated gif below doesn't work:

Note that there is no keyboard entry at all during the entire process.
