Feature request: Some ideas for improving input cells about euporie HOT 5 CLOSED

Some really great ideas here.

(1.a) Execute cells immediately after editing in external editor

This would be a useful addition. I've added it in a8be410.

(1.b) Use .py suffix for tempfiles when editing in external editor

This is very straight forward to implement - I've added it in ad24358.

It would be nice to generalize this further, so if using irkernel we use a .r suffix, if using julia we use a .jl suffix, etc.

(2) Function signatures in completion suggestions

I'm not sure if it is possible to access these through a jupyter kernel, I'll have to do some reading. It will be possible to add in the completion type column (e.g. function, class, module, etc.), as jupyter returns those along with completions (although this appear to still be experimental).

(3) Autosuggestion / completion while typing

Would you expect autosuggestions to come from elsewhere in the notebook, from ipython history, or to autosuggest completions?

Completion while typing is might by tricky, as there is often a slight wait for completions from jupyter, so we'd need to be careful to ensure that this does not add input latency.

(4) Variable viewer

Maybe one day 😉

I've added the ability to automatically show contextual help when typing, which contains function signatures:

This can be enabled from the settings menu (or manually summoned with Shift+Tab).

I'm going to mark this issue as closed now, as I have now implemented all of your suggestions (except for the variable viewer, which I've added to my roadmap).

Wow thanks a lot, super cool and excited to give this a try!

So one way would be to get idea 2 just by providing LSP integration, which is obviously a pretty huge feature https://github.com/krassowski/jupyterlab-lsp. Or to use jedi like ptpython does?

(3) Autosuggestion / completion while typing

Would you expect autosuggestions to come from elsewhere in the notebook, from ipython history, or to autosuggest completions?

From all past history of jupyter notebooks, identical to the ipython/shell behavior.

Completion while typing is might by tricky, as there is often a slight wait for completions from jupyter, so we'd need to be careful to ensure that this does not add input latency.

(4) Variable viewer

Maybe one day 😉

🤞

Quick update on this

I've implemented autocompletion while typing and and autosuggestions from history (these are configurable, and can be switched on and off from the settings menu).

These will both be available in the next release

Amazing, really enjoying it!
