[texworks] access to Edit menu - problem with Ctrl-e

[Henrik Skov Midtiby]

It is unfortunately some time ago since Paul has been active on the mailing
list...
But he hosts some documentation of the texworks scripting api.
To get access to an input box look at the following url
http://twscript.paulanorman.com/docs/html/TexWorksQtScripting.html?getTextQWidgetQStringQString.html

Best regards
Henrik
