[texworks] SCRIPT: Insert a new \label{key} - checks for current Environment and potential duplicate conflict

[Alain Delmotte]

Hi,

Pay attention that with Babel French, the ":" could make problems as ":" 
is active because in French typography there should be a space before 
double punctuation marks.
