The code completion in Python syntax has been an issue in Python development for too long and we received the latest complaint today in the Dev Slack about this problem.
I made an initial assessment of all our libraries and this problem is about these:
RPA.Browser.Selenium
RPA.Cloud.Google
RPA.Desktop
RPA.PDF
RPA.Windows
The RPA.Browser.Playwright shows the keywords, but that does not show the keyword docstring (only the method signature).
A common "thread" with these libraries is that they are all built on robotlibcore.DynamicCore. So either we restructure these libraries to work without DynamicCore or we find out a way of providing code completion with that (like adding *.pyi files which describe the interface, as observed with the upstream SeleniumLibrary).
