Godot version? Since there were some changes to code completion in the current master branch since 2.0.3 even 2.0.4.

[alexzheng]

2.0.3 and 2.1

I don't recall completion working for arguments of signal connections. Was this working on a previous version?

Since GdScript is duck typed there's no way the Editor can know what type is body. To solve this you need static typing (or a way to hint the type) i usually add a line body = RigidBody.new() at the start and try not to forget to comment it later...

We'll add type hints for 2.2

Also onready var node = get_node("mynode") is a very handy feature,
but get_node have no hint for the node name as write var node = get_node("mynode") in _ready()

As mentioned in https://github.com/godotengine/godot/issues/15718#issuecomment-446207371, this is now solved thanks to optional typing in 3.1.

@vnen Do you think we should go one step further and automatically set the type hint when connecting signals?

@akien-mga that is already the case if you have the option enabled in Editor Settings.

Nice, closing then.
