Use coding assistance
Datalore provides smart coding assistance to help you improve your programming experience with the application.
- Code completion
As you start typing the name of a function, method, class or variable, a box pops up suggesting possible completions. Click the right option from the list to complete the object name or keep typing to narrow down the scope of suggestions.
- Quick documentation
For code cells, Datalore provides quick access to documentation:
Brief reference: provided in a popup when holding down Ctrl | Command and hovering over the code.
Full reference: provided in an expanded popup when you place the caret at the symbol and press F1.
- Inspections and auto-fixes
Inspections are used to detect errors in your code and suggest auto-fixes. To view the available auto-fixes, click the code error and press Alt+Enter. To customize your inspections, go to and select what you want to use.
- Auto import
If a name you use in your code associates with a library you forgot to import, Datalore suggests import options among the available auto-fixes.
