Could be barking up the wrong tree here so correct me if I am wrong but, wouldn't a lot of suggestions in this thread automatically happen if a Language Server was implemented using LSP?

An intellisense-like capability for Ignition scripting objects would be nice. It would make component/functionality discovery easier. For example:

I love the VS Code option idea. I end up writing in VS code when writing longer scripts from scratch and then copy-paste into the editor to save time, using highlighting and intellisense for efficiency.

Please add script history, And autosave a copy when designer is closed.

Want to +1 several of the suggestions here. A lot of this seems like basic stuff for a Python editor, and I also would be happy just having an external editor to use.
- Auto-complete/IntelliSense for custom functions. It is super annoying to have to manually copy or type paths. If the function is available from the scope I'm working in. If I can call the function, I should be able to auto-complete it (for example, global scripts in a tag script, etc).
- Basic copy-pasting. I don't know what exactly is happening under the hood, but copying and pasting code results in incorrectly tabbed/formatted code 95% of the time. It's not a big deal for a couple lines of code, but any decently long script it is a serious inconvenience and potential source for errors.
I do also agree that the most complete solution is probably to allow easy integration with an external editor (VS Code is my personal preference) rather than a la carte adding these to the Ignition editor.
