But, Macro and run command do exist though. You can make use of those feature to save and debug your script with a click of a shortcut key.

Step 1: Create a new macro.

if (komodo.view) { komodo.view.setFocus() };
komodo.doCommand('cmd_save')
ko.run.runEncodedCommand(window, '%(python) -O \"%F\" {\"cwd\": u\"%D\"}');
