Code Completion in Processing IDE Python mode?

See original GitHub issue

I am using Processing 3.5.4 on macOS and although I have pdex.completion=true and pdex.completion.trigger=true and it works on Java mode, autocompletion doesn’t seem to work in Python mode.

Is this a problem on my end or is this feature just not implemented yet?

Not to say this is a priority or even that useful, just that I don’t think it is impossible in un-type-hinted code.

Just wanted to add that autocompletion could be very useful for beginners when you can see a function, its description and its parameters on the screen while you’re typing; instead of searching through the reference page.

And here I’ve been typing out whole lines like a chump.

I just checked and it runs fine with JavaMode instead of Mode. I didn’t immediately jump out at me how to get code completion actually working, but it might be worth looking into. Seems like it’d be a pretty nice thing to have.
