Rhino 8 script editor

Hi,

In the old “Rhino Python Editor,” the function descriptions automatically appear when you open the parentheses, providing very quick and efficient help.

In Rhino 8’s Script Editor, this functionality seems not to work, which is a bit annoying when you don’t know the inputs by heart…

Is there anything that can be done to enable this option?

The intellisense /auto completion is really useful, but could be a bit finnicky.

Are the options shown if you delete the last line, save, close and reopen the editor, and type rs. only? And how about if you type up to rs.SurfaceWeights( without the closing bracket?

Hi, I also see that that function is gone in the Python editor in V8. As that function is still alive in the C# editor, I assume that function is disabled only temporarily. I’m hoping to have that function back soon.

I’m working on this :smiley: good improvements coming in 8.6

Hi, I just updated to R8.6 and still do not see ‘auto help’. Without it, I’m a useless person when typing Python scripts. Please bring this function back :joy:

It will definitely be in 8.7 - Sorry. I have it kinda working but had to fix a series of other bugs in the meantime. :smiley: I see if I can put it in 8.6 for the official release as well.
