Agreed! It is related to #300 in some ways, but I'll leave it open as separate issue as it's different enough and more of a bug than an enhancement. |

Hello. It is often quite uncomfortable for the popup to hide the code I am typing. Thank you |
This replaces our own implementation with the one from atom-ide-ui. Next
to having a consistent UI with other IDE packages and benefitting from
improvements made over there, they also offer several advantages over
our own implementation:
- It is configured here to automatically trigger (!) when the
paranthesis is typed. To add to that, it automatically remains open
as long as the user continues typing and doesn't move outside the
function call. This means it will never pop up automatically unless
either typing a new function call or explicitly requesting it.
- You can easily close it by pressing escape (#300) or moving outside
of the function call, so it gets in the way much less often.
- It also displays, next to the active parameter's documentation, the
documentation of the function itself (mostly deals with #301).
- It displays above the function call, so it doesn't overlap with
autocompletion (#311)
- You can drag them out of the way.
- You can attach keyboard triggers to them.
Finally, this code is pretty much ready for use on our end, but there
are some minor issues I'd like to see ironed out in atom-ide-ui before
releasing this:
- The API is currently still experimental
- The styling is currently a bit barebones; the name of the active
parameter is not displayed.
- HTML in descriptions is being escaped (same issue as
facebookarchive/atom-ide-ui#99)

I have the same issue. Is there a workaround? A temporary fix? Can I do anything in order to help? Thanks. |
|
Maybe is commit b669f84 a fix for the issue? |
|
Just for the record, a workaround I finally found is to edit Atom atom-text-editor .autocomplete-plus {
z-index: 5 !important;
}This way, autocompletion shows over signature help. It isn't perfect, but works. |

@ricpelo Yes, that commit would be the ideal fix. I can't merge this, however, until this issue in atom-ide-ui is solved. If you want to roll up your sleeves and help, a patch for atom-ide-ui to make the sanitization optional would be the best course of action. I have no idea if they'd be willing to accept it, however, as it seems kind of silent over there. |

Closing this as 3.2 has been released, which uses atom-ide-ui's tooltips. These show at another location by default so they usually don't obstruct autocompletion and can be moved out of the way with the mouse otherwise. |
I'm not sure if this is related with this enhancement proposal: #300, but i think on this more as one issue.
When i'am writing and i type one function, sometimes call tip hide the firsts autocomplete suggestions. One picture it's better that 1000 words ;)
