Writing python inside a node is painful

When scripting inside a blueprint , writing code directly in the ‘Python Script Command’ or ‘Python Script Execute’ nodes is painful (to say the least).

I write most of my code in an Rider, but I still need to work inside the node text box and I can’t stand it…

  • the text window is TINY
  • the caret doesn’t reappear in the text box if I alt-tab to my IDE
  • no method highlights, despite the code being inside unreal

are there any plugins / workflows that make scripting inside the engine less painful?

thanks!
