Commands

Post by edauthier » Wed Aug 22, 2007 1:31 am

This is not significant, but it would be nice to be within a sript (Advanced Editor) and be able to highlight a command, right click on it and display help for the command right from the script canvas.

It may be my style of writing code, but sometimes I am in the middle of writing a script and would like a super quick reference. It's not ideal to jump out via command reference or Help.

Even a 'yellow-box' example of the command applied would great.

Thanks, Ed

Right now, you can have the cursor anywhere on a line, press F1, and Help will open up for the command at the beginning of the line.
Hope this was helpful..................good luck,

...and if you just have the cursor on the line then you get the command syntax at the bottom of the window, that's a huge timesaver :D

Bob, thanks... but what I meant to really say was similar to the yellow box that appears to preempt your command; it would be nice to remain totally within your script canvas and have the box hover on top while you are continuing to code. A 'compressed' help file perhaps.

Like I said, not really important, but for me.. icing on the cake.
Take care.
