Moving tooltips

[ncannasse]

When displaying completion arguments, the tooltip moves as you type which I think is a very unique behavior in IDE world (ie disturbing). I'm not sure if it's vshaxe behavior or vscode default but there should be a way to have fixed tooltips instead.

More remarks for the tooltip:

• positioning : having the tooltip under the cursor is much better than over since you usually want to read you code / variables before and not after.

• documentation : documentation should be take like 1s without typing to show, or be displayed by pressing a special key, because big documentation takes way more space and prevent from correctly reading the arguments.

vshaxe doesn't / can't do anything here. A related VSCode issue: microsoft/vscode#33752

Could we get an option in vshaxe to disable documentation ? this would allow to trim down significantly the tooltip size.

[Gama11]

I guess that would be possible, yeah. Although it's something that would ideally be a global VSCode setting, not specific to a particular language.

[ncannasse]

In an ideal world VSCode already supports everything we need. But I think it's better to be pragmatic and do what is possible in vshaxe, including sometimes workarounds, until vscode adds proper support for it.

To clarify, which tooltips did you mean exactly here? Because the ones from field completion already have a button to expand / collapse documentation, including a shortcut:

It was the arguments tooltip after opening `obj.call(`

Starting with the next release, you can disable documentation in those popups with:

"haxe.enableSignatureHelpDocumentation": false

With docs enabled:

With docs disabled:
