IntelliSense (feature request / discussion)

[bbarker]

I know this probably isn't an easy one to do, but, it may be worthwhile. The most important subset of intellisense I think, is the ability to look up documentation within the editor for given types, functions, etc.

This will be a good feature for more advanced users of Kojo.

Note that code-completion in Kojo already shows help/documentation for Turtle, Picture, and Builtin commands/functions. This can be generalised to load javadoc/scaladoc from jar files. The relevant file in Kojo where this functionality can be added is:

I am a technical writer by profession and would love to get involved in contributing documentation. Please let me know how to get started. Is there is Docs repo on github that I can start contributing to?

This particular thread is about documentation tied to intellisense/code-completion. To discuss documentation in general, feel free to post your thoughts via any of the channels mentioned on this page:

To get the discussion going...
A lot of the current Kojo documentation is on the ebooks page: http://www.kogics.net/kojo-ebooks. How would you like to contribute, given what we already have? Is there anything particular that you have in mind?

I would like to contribute in making the product accessible in general and documentation in particular. Please let me know if if we could carry this conversation over to http://www.kogics.net/contact
