hi, very excited about the auto complete additions to the scripting platform in 8.1.19; are there any plans to do something similar for user-lib? we have a lot of scripts there distributed on all of our servers, it would be awesome to be able to browse them from the scripting interface.

Yes, this is something I’d like to include. The tricky part is knowing what scripts you’ve actually imported; currently there’s no parsing of your local file; that’s the big hurdle to making this happen.

No progress on this to share. Generally speaking, most folks use the built in script library to author their own code, so parsing and autocompletion on that has been higher priority. There's also no way to do this without the parsing of the local file I mentioned above, which is a giant ball of complexity that basically has to happen all at once.
