The InPlaceEditor behavior is something that I've intended to be a rewrite of the Scripty version in a more Low Pro way but I've not started yet. Although, I keep a few behaivors in subversion they are mostly to test and investigate the possiblities - Low Pro is a framework for attaching behaviors to elements not a widget library as such and I don't intend to write lots of behaviors with Low Pro.
However, you can create a behavior wrapper around the scripty InPlaceEditor really easily that will allow you to attach it with Event.addBehavior:
You can do a similar thing with all the scripty widgets as well.
Cheers,
Dan
