Is it just my impression or function tips are not working anymore….
Before when I used to write for example:
chf (
and set my cursor right after the ( I used to get the function tip. But now nothing….sometimes I get it when on top of the actual funtion but not after the parenthesis.

Is this a bug or maybe I am remembering things as I want them to be….

Forgot to mention…running 16.0.547

Hi Nicolas,

Maybe more an RFE than bug, but I can't remember any kind of hinting when typing in wrangles

I still haven't given this one a whirl yet, but looks well worth checking out:

I guess it was a biased memory implanted by desire
But I think I misspoke. It is not an actual tip that appears after the parenthesis but the function description. It still appears after you type the function. But yeah a proper VEX library tips would be awesome!

Interesting,

I don't get that at all. Only just a list of the functions as I type them. Nothing after parenthesis.
I have tooltips ticked off and I don't see anywhere in preferences where some other setting might be sitting.

I have a bookmark in my browsers toolbar with http://www.sidefx.com/docs/houdini/vex/functions/_index [sidefx.com]


I don't think it's a bad idea, as I would like a quicker reminder of the vex functions since I have a poor memory.
But for some of those functions, it would be a bit more than ‘tool tip’ to get all that info to come up on a function.

Wonder how they would implement that one.

Yes, I think I had a faulty ram memory in my head….What I remembered was from scripting tips like here….
