Searching labels etc in multiple scripts

[QuantumHive]

Hi,

I'm new to Ren'Py. I just started in an existing project, with that there is already a lot of Ren'Py scripts.
Now I'm also new to Python, but I'm pretty experienced with other imperative programming languages like c++, c#, java, php etc.

I'm used to 'fancy' IDE's like Visual Studio, which has a file-tree so you can organize your source code and quickly navigate to it.
I'm kinda missing this with Ren'Py and its standard editor Editra. For me it consumes developing time to ask around and find out where everything is located in source code.
For example, in Visual Studio, you have features like, find all references, or go to declaration to quickly navigate while viewing source. I assume when coding with Ren'Py there is no feature like this by default?

So how do you guys handle these problems? Are there any tips on how to organize and structure your scripts, and how to use the editor or maybe an alternative editor which has those features I talked about?

Well, I already found the Projects plugin, for source control and tree-view! Great one! So what about finding references?

And I guess I will use ctrl + shift + f, to find things in the directory..

What text editor are you using, Editra or jEdit? In jEdit, for example, you can simply open the 'search & replace' window and select 'all buffers' to search on all open scripts at the same time. Editra must have a similar feature, but I don't use it.

I'll note you can also click "Navigate" in the launcher, and that will let you open files, labels, etc.

Thank you, Tom. Never tried that before.

In the Navigation panel I find specially useful the "TODO" feature.
Add "# TODO something" in your code and Renpy will rememeber it for you.
