How to see all the properties an object has?

Not sure if this is the right nomenclature, but it would be really helpful to be able to see all the properties an object has (i.e. everything I can access by doing foo.property).
For a more concrete example, I was making coordinate systems and sketch planes. The coordinate systems use .xAxis, and .zAxis while the sketch planes us .x and .y, and .normal. How would I know what these parameters are called? Debug and print both seem to label properties in some human-readable format, which is nice for reading but leaves me guessing and what to use in my code

E.g., if you've got a call like evMateConnector(context, ...), mousing over that tells you that it returns a thing of type CoordSystem, which links straight to the docs: https://cad.onshape.com/FsDoc/library.html#CoordSystem
It will list the name of the property and a description of what the type is.
