script editor list methods

The script editor should list all methods defined in the source code module. It should also whenever possible provide auto completion for methods included via imports as well as methods defined in the current source module. This should specifically include Class methods.

Autocomplete is available for project library code as of Ignition 8.1.19.
I merged Ryan Crownover's post into this one as most of the bullets overlap and the functionality is complementary.
The unaddressed bullet points are still on the roadmap, and are tracked on the more general 'improve the script editor' issue:

Scripting Autocomplete Improvements

It would be an incredible improvement to see scripting autocomplete include the following IDE features:
- Autocomplete for variables in the current script, because typos
- Contextual hints for argument names when writing a function call
- Contextual hints for class attributes and methods
- Autocomplete for user created libraries
- User created library contextual display should read docstrings and appear just as system-provided library's display

Its there already for system function, but not consistent and 100%, def a lot of room for improvment. Use CTRL+Space when typing system functions.

I don't even understand why it is not that requested, auto-completion is ESSENTIAL if you script. To me, this is a MUST HAVE!

I'm fairly sure they mean intellisense from any scripting window.

Could you elaborate a little on what you're suggesting? I don't understand what you mean by "prompt scripting options from a library". Thanks!
