Text editor in Knime

[rd2575691]

Hello,

While writing Python in Knime, the intellisense and other features available in text editors like VSC, ST3 etc., felt missing. Is there a plan of integrating or enhancing the default text editor?

Thanks

Hey there, @rd2575691!

Thank you for the feature request! We have already created a ticket for it in our internal system.

Cheers,
Ana

Hi @rd2575691,

The nodes of the KNIME Python Integration should already feature auto-completion via the jedi Python package. Please make sure that jedi is installed in the Python environment that you use with KNIME or create a new environment as described in our installation guide, which will include jedi.

If auto-completion still does not work for you, we’ll gladly turn this feature request into a bug report internally. Also, if you’re missing other features besides auto-completion, feel free to explicitly name them here, then we can create separate feature requests for these.

Thanks!

Marcel

Hello @MarcelW,

Thanks. Its working after installing jedi in the environment.

Off the top of my head, other features like:

• multiple cursor placement
• selecting and applying brackets around something with just one key push rather than placing it manually with more than one click.
• auto indenting after “:” in case of control flow statements

Things that make typing experience similar to that of a text editor.

Thanks a lot.

Great, glad it’s working now!

Thanks for your suggestions, we recorded them and will let you know via this thread once there’s news.
