Hello everyone,,
I'm thinking of putting this in for a feature request, but just want to gauge if it is something everyone else would want or use.

So, when you need to know more about an AppGameKit command, you would press F1 while the command is highlighted in the code editor. This brings up the help doc for that command in the help tab to the left.

What I'm thinking is the same thing for our own functions. We could put a comment block just above or inside the function definition, and the studio editor could use that comment as a help doc for that function. Pressing F1 on the highlighted function name anywhere in code would bring up the function help in the same help tab just like normal help docs.

That sounds super useful! Could work for values too.

Especially if you work after a long time with a source code, that would be really useful, I think. A great idea!

Big +1 from here. Especially if writing a library of functions for other people to use.

+1 from me also. Oh and please make the text in the help window selectable, so we can copy things we want to use from it or search for other commands from there. Would be a time saver.
