Hi,

For us, Houdini coders out there, I would like to see some improvement to the code editing window (Alt-E) and the Houdini Console.

First, add some useful features to the code editing windows. Like:
- Support docking it like any other Houdini pane.
- Support creating multiple tabs.
- Add the Ctrl-Enter shortcut so we dont have to press apply every time.
- Improve auto-complete so it can list the needed arguments when typing a function.
- The Houdini VEX Editor by Paul Winex is a very good example but it's not supported a lot these days. I miss it much.
- Add fonts support.

Second, the Houdini Console is “fine” but a Houdini Console Pane is needed.
- It could have more options like a search…
- Double click on an error would go to the code line that failed.
- Would not show up as a separeted window in MS Windows.

Big new features are great but sometimes it's the little things that makes such a big difference.

Thx.
