I'm sure that many people will.
To add the auto-compile functionality to Scripter you could use Sandi's
additions or type text or a macro to send the command-K (compile) to
Scripter.
If you're willing to add one of the OSAX or a macro program then you
could just copy the "Script Code" field (cell) to scripter's clipboard, make
a new scripter doc, paste the clipboard into it then compile. All using
keystroke simulations.
tell application "Scripter."
set the clipboard to scriptText
TypeText "nvk" with Command--New,Paste,Compile
end tell
