We can edit existing variables clicking on game menu->configure->variables or tapping Shift+Ctrl+7. We can add, edit, remove and search there etc.

What about (LUA) arrays?

It would be so wonderful add/show/edit/search/fill up with data arrays the same way!

Isn't?

Just my 2 cents...

Yes, well Lua arrays can be arrays of arrays, or arrays of functions. These would be hard or impossible to represent inside the GUI. Also they can be self-referential, which would also be a big problem to display.

eg. 

 
t = {}  -- make a table
t [1] = t   -- table contains itself



I usually use the "tprint" function to display arrays, as that shows nested tables, and is quite easy to read.

On the other hand, it would be quite nice to be able to edit MUSH arrays from the GUI.
