This question has to do with getting Jupyter Notebook docstring functionality to work in Atom. I appreciate any and all advisement.
In the Jupyter Notebook you are able to access the docstring via shift-tab and expand and scroll through the docstring as well as select and copy-paste from it into the cells.
In the Atom Editor running the IPykernel I can see part of the docstring via autocomplete-python package, but I am unable to scroll through the docstring's full length, nor am I able to select from it for copy-pasting.
I cannot find a hotkey to make Atom open a browsable and selectable docstring as in Jupyter Notebook. Anybody have any ideas?
My keycap.cson file contains the following:
'atom-text-editor': 'enter':
'editor:newline' 'shift-tab': 'language-python: toggle-all-docstrings'
But this does nothing....
I added the bounty but I actually managed to figure out the answer.
1) Download a package called
hydrogen
from thepackages
in atom.2) Go to your .py file in atom and hold
ctrl-shift-p
. A search bar will pop up3) type
hydrogen: toggle inspector
and a window will pop at the bottom4) go to the variable where you want to view the strings and simply press
alt-i
. That is the equivalent oftab
in the Jupiter notebook
