  • VSCode Version: 1.21.1
  • OS Version: Linux

Currently VS Code offers "editor.action.showHover" for keyboard accessibility of the mouse hover. It would be useful to offer the hover popup that is shown when the Control-key is held while the mouse is hovering over a symbol. In fact I see no reason not to make "editor.action.showHover" show that hover all the time. At least in Python context the Ctrl-Hover seems to be always preferable as it seems to show everything the normal hover shows PLUS additional information.

Workaround: peek definition via Alt+F12, go to definition via F12

I know these functions, but they're not as nice as the hover.

Ctrl + hover to trigger the showHover action would be awesome!
Did you find any workaround @mbenkmann ?

I would also like this feature, is there a possibility this PR will get revived? #59260

Verification Steps:

  1. Use the new command Show Control Hover.
  2. Compare with Control + Mouse Hover.
  3. Try using both.

So I'm assuming, once this is verified, that it will be released on a near future release of vscode?
