Hi Chris, Small feature requests: Right now I can’t select stimulus groups with the keyboard in the Variables window. I expect to be able to use the down arrow to select a group/heading and then press the right arrow to expand and left arrow to close. It would be nice to add descriptions or doc …

@histed As of the current nightly build, variable descriptions are now supported. They work just as we discussed. In your experiment file: var my_var = 2 (desc = 'This is the description for my_var') Then, in MWClient’s variables window, if you hover over the name “my_var”, a tooltip will pop up w…

Paul asked me about the below feature so I’m cc’ing him into this discussion:

Very cool all around, aliases and descriptions- thank you!! Mark

Hi Mark, We just tried this, and we are not getting a tooltip to pop up. The example I referenced still works for me, same as before. Note that the variables window needs to be the active window (i.e. the three dots/buttons in the upper left should be red, yellow, and green, not all gray), and …
