Hi all, Without making any commitments or declaring whether these two features are a good idea, here are a few thoughts:
* For paging through the pop-up docstrings the biggest thing that comes to mind is deciding on keybindings * For vim bindings: this is a larger project but certainly doable. It's not been on my agenda because there are other projects that have done a decent job of it (ptpython in particular), and it's sort of a never-ending effort once you start down the vim path :) I believe Julian has looked at this a bit as per https://github.com/bpython/bpython/issues/429 I'd defer to Sebastian and Andreas for whether these features belong and interest in the donation-driven approach. Noel, to make sure we're on the same page: can I assume you're using the newest release of bpython, 0.15? -Tom On Thu, Mar 31, 2016 at 1:10 PM, Noel Milton Vega <[email protected]> wrote: > Hello Friends: > > I was talking to Bob by email yesterday, about enhancing bpython. > I mentioned, in part, this: > > ------------------------------------------------------------------- > I'd happily donate to get paging capability so that we can see the rest of > the pop-up doc-strings. > I don't think that capability ever existed (and if it does, I don't know > how to use it).
