show properties in JSL

[hogi]

☐ cool new feature
☐ could help many users!

☐ removes a „bug“

☑ nice to have

☐ nobody needs it

The "Help Scripting Index" entry in the right click context menu is very helpful to open the scripting index info for a JSL object or function.

Is there also such a fast way to run "show properties" for a JSL object - perhaps with a possibility to select one property and use it directly in my code ( e.g. auto-send to clipboard to paste it at the correct position in the code)?

@hogi , could you describe more what you are wanting to do?  

If you use

Show Properties(object);

then in the log window all of the messages you can pass to the object are listed.  

Are you simply wanting a "command picker", or something else?

Hi @SamGardner 
Yes, like this. Starting from the 

Show Properties(object);

some additional functionality to save some steps:

- right click on an object to open the right click context menu

- click on the new "show properies" entry

- then a sub-menu opens (like the "Advanced" submenu) with all the properties

(or a new window with the properties list?)

- then choose one of the "properties"

- which sends the code to the clipboard

- and then you can directly pase the code wherever you want.
