GDSCRIPT FUNCTION HELPER

a simple godot 4 plugin that helps you write functions faster by auto-completing return types and adding default return values. just write your function and hit tab.

this plugin adds the return type for you (-> void if you don't specify one), puts in default return values, keeps your parameters and types intact, and works with partial or complete function declarations.
