@jagedn, yeah, I know they are there, but I was talking about
discoverability. If I already know what I am searching for and start typing a
widget name, I can spot them. Otherwise, just pressing `Ctrl`+`Space`, I see an
overwhelming number of options - constants, Groovy API etc. - and can scroll
down the list for minutes. Also, even if I find what I want, `Ctrl-Q` does not
show any helpful documentation:
Well, yeah, so now I know that all those methods have `java.util.Map
attributes` arguments lists.
Then, inside an arguments list, it is similar. If I just want to see which
options there are at all via `Ctrl`+`Space`, I need to spot the ones with a
trailing colon while scrolling the list. This is all feasible, but not very
nice. Maybe I should rather blame the IDE or my lack of knowledge about how to
optimally configure IntelliSense in IntelliJ IDEA, but it does not make things
easier. The named parameters also have no documentation I could open with
`Ctrl-Q`:
This is why I opened this issue in order to bring back some helpful,
old-school API description for all widgets and their options into the Groovy
documentation. If widget, option and especially documentation (Javadoc,
Groovydoc) discoverability in my IDE was adequate, I would maybe not need that.
But for now, I do.
