Thanks, didn't know that this option existed. Are there plans to implement external connection to the console?, currently if I try to get the connection information I get the next error:

%connect_info
/home/danpal/programs/chimerax-0.93/lib/python3.7/site-packages/ipykernel/zmqshell.py:373: UserWarning: Could not get connection info: RuntimeError('app not specified, and not in a running Kernel')
warnings.warn("Could not get connection info: %r" % e)

Hi Daniel,
ChimeraX’s builtin shell (Tools→General→Shell) is based on Jupyter QtConsole. Tab will autocomplete or show the completion possibilities. Typing the first open paren of a function/method will show the argument signature, doc string, and other information. I also hope you’ve checked out the Programmer’s Guide information (Help→Programming Manual).
