0. Quit Script Editor.

1. Open ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.applescript.plist. It should have an AppleScriptTextStyles entry. If not, see 1a.
1a. Change one of the styles somehow (color, font...), quit Script Editor, relaunch it, put it back, quit again, and go back to step 1.


2. AppleScriptTextStyles is an array of entries in the same order they're listed in the preferences; "application keywords" is the fourth one. (Index 3, since they start at zero.)

3. Each entry is a string formatted as "fontname;style;size;RGB color". The default for application keywords is "Verdana;p;12;0 0 65535", in other words, 12 point plain Verdana in blue. "p" for the style means "plain"; change it to "u" for "underline". (You could also add "b" for bold or "i" for italic if you felt like it.)

4. Save and close the file.


Applescript is not recreating the preference file after it is deleted.



I didn't mention the fact that you needed to click Apply after making the change, which means you can skip a quit/relaunch pair: change a setting, click Apply, change it back, click Apply again, quit.



I assumed that was the case and tried it both ways. No go.

P.S.: AppleScript won't bother to create the preferences file if your formatting matches the defaults.

I changed "New Text" category to Helvetica 18 pt. It did not create the preferences file. I also note that the preference file I deleted was com.apple.applescript. There is also a preference file com.apple.ScriptEditor2 that appears to belong to applescript.
