Hi,
It is very nice that when we type the "(" on a, let's say PyQt method,
we
get the calltips information but when we move the cursor somewhere else
and
return to this point, how we can display them again?? I have not found
and
keyboard shortcut for this and the only way I found is remove and then
retype the "("... :(
Not having a keyboard shortcut for this function is an omission, that
will be
corrected. I've added it to the 4.2 TODO list.
It's more than a year since then, I'm using version 4.2.1 (because that's
what came with my openSuse 11), and somehow I can't seem to get those
calltips the way they were meant to work.
All I ever get are suggestions of words and/or names that are typed
somewhere in the same module.
So say I have defined a function self.whatever (self, pa, pb)
I then call it somewhere in the same module.
If I then start typing se... I see "self" in a list. If I then continue
past the "." I get a list of things to go with the "self." if I continue
to "self.whatever(" there's nothing except a closing parenthesis.
What's even more funny: If I add the text "self.blabla" somewhere inside a
comment, I'll even get that as a suggestion, but nothing about the
parameters the call needs, neither a docstring to go with it.
Having read the latest posts in this thread I suspect that the error is on
my side (either me or my computer). Is there maybe a setting that I
overlooked?
Being a not-so-frequent-programmer I really profit from calltips
containing:
1. all the methods/parameters of an object
2. the docstring of the same method, once I've chosen it. Painful having
to open the according module everytime and look everything up.
As I said, I suspect that eric can already do that and I only need to make
it, but in my case it doesn't work. could it have to do with the
"assistant" plug-in?
If the above is not actually a function of eric ... could you implement
it? Pwease?
Cheers,
Zak
