completely undocumented - just some easter eggs in the community: 
Controlling Data Filters by sending DF-Messages like Filter Column(:col) << Msg   as Messsage:
df << (Filter Column(:col) << Msg())

Re: Paste multiple column names

Been using it a lot e.g. for copying coumn names between tables. Would hate to miss it in JMP 19!

On the other hand, one could even hide the scripts - they look quite disturbing to new users.
And after some iterations they pile up.
Maybe: just show them if the user presses Shift + CTRL and clicks in the former script area?

Re: Paste multiple column names

due to different color reception, it's difficult to choose colors in the GUI that satisfy all uses:toolbars.png

A way to to make the toolbar "equally" "useful" for all users: Grayscale.

additional benefit: even users with an old b/w monitor will have the same experience.

another feature: user defined icons will stand out by their color.

Re: Paste multiple column names

I just detected the new rendering modes in xkcd - they could inspire even more creative versions of new toolbar designs.
If you go for Grayscale - Dorian Greyscale is my favorite one! I hope Hacker mode won't make it into JMP 20.
