Support for showing the type of the identifier under the cursor

[myitcv]

Would you consider adding support for a command that shows (via an echom perhaps?) the type of the identifier at the current cursor position?

e.g.

// cursor position shown by '_'
let test_Var = "test";

call the new command, output at the bottom of the window is:

string

Thanks

Oo, would be nice!

is tsuquyomi#hint() what you are looking for?

autocmd FileType typescript nmap <buffer> <Leader>t : <C-u>echo tsuquyomi#hint()<CR>

[myitcv]

@derekpitt - amazing, yes, thanks very much for the pointer.

Is there a way to get it to automatically echo when for w/e is under the cursor ?

[myitcv]

@stefanpenner - you probably want to take a look at the CursorMoved autocmd event.

@myitcv thanks for the tip, that looks on the mark.

@stefanpenner Did you get it working well automatically? My vim knowledge is limited, so I wasn't sure how to set it up quite right.
