How to use script help popups in code?

Post by ValiantCuriosity » Sat Feb 16, 2019 12:41 am

Hi again,

I'm currently studying LC so I've been quiet. You're spelling that "Relief". :lol:
I think this is a simple(ton) question. I'm sure there is an answer someplace, but I haven't stumbled on it yet.

As I am trying some scripting out in the Code section, I see the code help popup. How do I select and add the property that pops up to help with completion in the Code section?

Other languages often use <Return> but that doesn't work for me. I can't select from the list using the up and down keyboard arrows either.

Thanks to all.

Hi Rachel,

hm, arrow keys up/down work here for me in LC 9.02 on macOS 10.14.3.
And you need to hit TAB to perform the actual autocompletion, n'est-ce pas? :D

Best

Klaus
