IDE: Display the return type of a procedure in status line

Hello Fred,
I would find it very helpful if the return type of a procedure would be displayed in the status line.
Currently, only the procedure name and the procedure parameters are displayed there, but not the return type, if the procedure has one.
Kind Greetings
Kurzer

Problem is, those texts are inside each pb libraries... So only Fred could change it. You can check by opening a pb lib (eg PureBasic(x64)\PureLibraries\Process) with a text editor.
edit: you could of course edit the libs and add all returns yourself

chi, if you mean PureBasic's own commands, you're right.
But I meant the self-written procedures that are in the source code.
For example.
Procedure.s GetCustomerName(CustomerID.i)
The procedure could be displayed in the status line as "GetCustomerName.s"
(Of course without the color highlighting, this only served to illustrate what is important to me)

And to enhanced this request, the description was nice.
I mean like tailbite does it long time ago :
Code: Select all
Procedure.i Foo(p1.i) ;- Description Text
EndProcedure
The IDE shows : Foo(p1.i) - Description Text

It's easy to diy - just prefix or postfix a letter to the procedure name accordingly
Code: Select all
iThisProcedureReturnsInt()
sThisProcedureReturnsString()
