Incorporating own code into manimlib

I would like to add functions to the manimlib that are callable in any new scene class.

Therefore, I created some new classes (e.g. class_name) with respective functions, in function.py and added a map to the manimlib folder, say functions. The I added a line to the imports.py file found in the manimlib folder:

from manimlib.functions.function import *

Now when I start a new Scene, I can indeed reach those new functions, when I type

class_name.function_name(parameters) but Visual Code does not seem to recognize those. That is, they run and they work just as they should, but Visual Studio does not auto-complete or suggest the functions or parameters. Is this solvable? Because this now takes a lot of going back and forth and the whole idea to automatize this is lost.

I don’t think this is a Manim issue. It seems to be more related to VSCode.

I use VSCode myself, and can’t get any Manim objects to show up in IntelliSense, which I find pretty funny.

Yea this seems like a VSCode issue if you could let us know if you find a solution in the future that would be great but as of now we should probably close this issue

But can you confirm this does not occur when using other IDE?

I know for a fact that users of Vim have it autocomplete even custom manim stuff for them.
