Normally I am only using the object inspector and not the online help, as both typically stems from the same source - and if you want to find something more general Google is you friend, as documentation is almost always available online. Anyway, I am sure that you are welcome to implement cursor awareness for the object inspector, otherwise you just have to hope that there are others who also think that would be an awesome feature. /Jonatan On 26 Mar., 22:23, vbgunz <[email protected]> wrote: > I found Spyder today and am super excited about it for 2 reasons.
