- fixed Scripts repeating multiple time when the Code Editor is used. This repetition was correlated with multiple openings of the Code Editor window (especially after an error)

- added the autocomplete keywords that can be changed to the defaults dictionary
- modified the TclCommand New so it will no longer close all tabs when called (it closed the Code Editor tab which may have been holding the code that run)
