[edit] Code Intelligence
- Auto-completer: offers completions both in the editor and in the integrated Python shells.
- Source Assistant: provides context-appropriate call signature and source documentation in the editor and in the source browser.
- Error indicators: flag bad code as you type.
- Source browser: browse single files or whole project by module or class hierarchy.
- Goto-definition: jump directly to point of definition.
- Find Uses: find all points of use of a symbol, filtering out different but like-named symbols.
- Refactoring: rename or move a symbol and update points of use, or extract a range of code to a new function or method.
- Navigation menus: layered menus in each editor provide a handy index into source code.
- Indentation analyzer: inspect, repair, and convert indentation style in source files. Wing's editor also auto-indents and block indents according to context.
