+4Working in earlier with IFS Developer Studio using Marble, I do remember that I could get hints and guidance when writing code. For example, if a added an attribute to projection entity, I could easily see (by a tool tip or something alike) which settings/preferences I could use for that object. Like a reference documentation in the editor.
Is this still possbile to switch on? What do I miss in my setup?

If you start writing and press <ctrl> + <Space>, or if you put the cursor on an existing keyword and press the same combination, you will get following window:
Is that functionality not working for you?

+4Yes Tomas, that was what I was looking for. Thanks, I had forgotten it 🙂

Hi Harshini, Do we have any documentation with Syntax as we had for earlier versions like Centura?
Thanks.
+13open up the start page of developer studio and navigate to “Syntaxes and References”

Thanks for your respond Harshini. IFS Start Page opens up below and there is not link as above. ‘All Online Documentation’ is not bringing up anything. Version I am using is IFS Developer Studio 23.1E.9419 (Build 2023-05-11 10:06)
Any thoughts?

Some of my employees cannot use the hover and Ctrl+Click to “Click to jump to external declaration” functionality. I have looked at my setup and logs in attempts to see anything different with our setups. I do not see anything different at the moment.
Is there a setting that we have available to control this functionality, or steps we can take to fix this difference?
To be honest Phil this barely works for me as well (the control click). Most often it just does nothing…
It’s really frustrating when working in big mazes that involve a lot of fragments, when you’re just trying to figure out where a particular element has been declared so you can look at its source, end up having to either check all fragments individually or do a text search of the Core files.

That is so strange, it works for me very reliably! All my guys have had your experience.
Its gotta be something.
Do you know an IFS employee that we can tag in this?
To be honest I think you already did,

May i know the Developer studio tool version which you are currently using ?
And try the RMB option “Clear and Refresh Code Completion Cache” in Developer Studio. This often resolves stale cache issues that block suggestions.
If above is not going work, try to clear the User Directory and restart the tool.
hey
I think the Code Completion hints itself do work fine (at least they do for me), it’s just that when you want to control click on a declaration to “Jump to External Declaration”, for instance if you’re using a list in a client file, but that list has been declared and defined in a Fragment.
I’m not sure what the control click feature is even supposed to “do” because for me it doesn’t seem to actually be doing anything ? I would expect control clicking to effectively open the fragment in which the list was defined so that you can see how it was defined?
+11Our version `Product Version: IFS Developer Studio 18 (Build 25.2.0897 2025-10-21)`
All other values match yours.
After saving a copy of the User Directory, we tried suggestions on one of my team’s machines, this did not seem to resolve the issue.
