I have an autohotkey set up that opens chrome with a search for the highlighted command like this:
site:appgamekit.com/documentation GetSpriteY
The offline help was so often out of date that I needed this and it rocks (plus a lot of commands have examples). It's been really handy. Let me know if you want the autohotkey script for it.
As far as function hints go it would be great if the IDE suggested commands and then gives a summary of the command like Eclipse does. In Eclipse a popup is available after you write the command and it shows you syntax, options, and you can click it for more info.
I've been using Sublime text for a while and I set up a few snippets that allow me to select the command and have it autofill with the parameters like this:
Start typing GetSp and see GetSpriteHeight(iSpriteID)
It's very handy for some of the commands I don't use very often like the particle commands. You can also define the snippets for your own functions so if you have some standard libraries you use it can be very helpful.
I'd really hope that the new IDE has some sort of snippet functionality like this as it can save a ton of time. Also, multiline editing like Sublime Text would be stellar, but I think Sublime is the only one that does that (if you've not used sublime then you're really missing out with the multiline editing it saves so much time).
