Code Assistant Enhancement Request

[mike]

When I type a "(" after a procedure name, the code assistant brings up a list of parameters to choose from. That's nice.

I think it would be even nicer if I would be able to select all of them at once, or be able to select the ones I want and end up with:

package.procedure(param1 =>
,param2 =>
,param3 =>
etc.

Some procedures have a lot of parameters and take a long time!

Thanks for considering,

Mike

I second that and would ask to add that the beautifier aligns those assignments straigth away.

@mike: Until the request list is decimated, you can right-click on the procedure name and select Test. In the test window that opens, you copy-paste the procedure call incl. parameters. The test window is closed. The code is copy-paste'd into your code.

A bit more work, but you get a quick shell that you can work on.

Besides of that, I second to both of the posts above

Thanks for the tip Claus. I had been copying the spec, but this is one better.

I want this feature also with already written code without the named parameters.

For example:
(before)

procedure Test ('Good', 'Idea');

(After)

procedure Test (Param1 => 'Good',
                Param2 => 'Idea');
