Hi PBTeam,

After some years of coding under this IDE, i must that many efforts have been done in making it better and better, and it's greatly appreciated.

Altough, there's some things we can do to get the Quick Help better :

1/ Sort of 'typo' wish : Display the type of the returned value.
This very useful information when coding isn't displayed in current IDE,
so we often need to check this by pressing F1, reading, closing, ...

2/ Show the Quick Help (optional) in a popup under the caret.

I also use VS a lot, and i must say that i love its Quick Help concept :

Just to illustrate the first point, actual quick help for StrD() is :

StrD(Value, [NbDecimals])

I think it's more productive to see (saving consuming F1 checks):

Result.s = StrD(Value.d, [NbDecimals.i])
