I think that sounds a bit like "construct polyhedron/mesh from point cloud". What are the example scenarios for this?

Yes, it's possible, see also my [3d-function](https://github.com/openscad/list-comprehension-demos) script which produces a 2-manifold polyhedron - but it's neither obvious nor easy to generate. So there's no argument against having a simpler...

I have seen that issue a while ago on random occations but not lately (running Debian/Testing), there is a chance this is fixed in QScintilla (the editor component).

As it was only spurious it's difficult to really see what's going on. I did have the feeling that the selection removal happened already when pressing the CTRL key, so...

Thanks for digging up the past discussions. Some of those predate my involvement so I'll try to read up on those. Using the "experimental" feature is not an option as...

Does it help for this case when we restrict the customizer only to the top level variables of the main script/object? I guess anything else will not be easy from...

It probably needs revisiting, but the parameter prototype code injects the values into the AST - https://github.com/openscad/openscad/blob/model-meta-data3/src/ParameterWidget.cc#L97 - https://github.com/openscad/openscad/blob/model-meta-data3/src/ParameterEntryWidget.cc#L124

Yep, although that's going to be a long deprecation phase I guess as we would probably need to leave `-D` as is and introduce a new `-S` (or whatever that...

I think it's better to go for a simple, concise and obvious syntax. One nice thing is that OpenSCAD is also usable by non-programmers, adding some obscure syntax by default...

Probably that one: https://github.com/openscad/scad-utils/blob/26f8c2cf8124cdafe2fc21f9f9bbf2514e404834/shapes.scad#L7
