Code Completion and Parameter Hints

The editor can suggest Python keywords, document words, snippets, and gvscript APIs. Press Ctrl+J to request completion explicitly.

Code completion list

When you type an opening parenthesis or a parameter separator, the editor requests a function signature. Objects created by *_parameters() can also provide field suggestions.

Function parameter hint

Advanced completion depends on the Python helper environment installed with the application. Basic fallback suggestions may remain available when that environment is unavailable.

Sources and controls

Completion starts after about 160 ms of inactivity or with Ctrl+J. Candidates combine Python keywords, document symbols, snippets, gvscript wrappers, Jedi, and parameter metadata. Use arrow/Page keys, accept with Enter or Tab, and close with Esc.

After assigning params = ..._parameters(), type params. to discover fields, types, defaults, required status, and descriptions. An opening parenthesis requests a signature; hovering for about 500 ms shows documentation. A helper failure does not by itself prove that the script cannot run.
