Thanks for reporting that, Darren. We’ve added it to the backlog!

As Marc says, auto-completion (some elements – closing parentheses, etc.) can be useful, but tab-completing function names, code generation and general magic can hamper learning.

On tab-indenting anywhere on the line; this is intended as a feature. It’s not used in most environments, but we find it helpful for young learners.

Checked, and I didn’t have an issue on Windows, either, just on the Chromebook.

Another feature/bug I discovered was that if you press the Tab key at any point in the line, the whole line indents. Is this supposed to happen, as I’ve not seen it on other IDEs?

Hi, Marc.
No, I was on Chrome on a Chromebook (I think). I’ll try Chrome and Edge on Windows and see what happens.

https://pypi.org/project/p5/
But it uses skulpt to convert it to p5js, as far as I am aware. One of our engineers will correct me if I am wrong.

Just the standard library and P5 for now

Autocomplete is fairly standard, and you’re probably correct in stating you’re not the target audience :)
The print statements are odd. Are you on chromium on a Raspberry Pi by any chance? I’ll have a look, as so far I can’t reproduce on FF or Chrome.

What version of P5 is used?
I could not get the version.
