Why we like it

Code Completer stands out in the Superhive library for bringing Blender's console autocomplete directly into the text editor.

What is Code Completer?

Code Completer is a Blender add-on that lets you use console autocomplete inside the text editor. It presents a VSCode-style user interface and provides code suggestions for each text input, drawing on the Blender console to complete code as you write.

The add-on auto imports modules in the script for code suggestion and lets users run a single line of code in the console for code completion. The UI is customizable, and later updates added scrollbar support, the ability to change text color, and a toggle for privates. There are also toggles for quick off, auto import, and internal attributes. Note that the add-on requires the Blender console to be open in order to function.

Code Completer is compatible with Blender versions 3.6, 4.0, 4.1, and 4.2, and is Blender Extension compatible. It is distributed under the GPL license. It ranks within the Superhive library and is listed here as free, with an option to support development.
