Feature Request: Show documentation at cursor #1052

Issue

Feature Request: Show the documentation of the word at the current cursor like kite does currently.

Sorry if this has been already implemented, I could not see it as an option here

davidhalter commented 3 years ago

You can just use K. This should be implemented :)

RJaikanth commented 3 years ago

Hi @davidhalter sorry if i have not been clear enough. But what I am asking is the preview window updates itself to match the documentation of the function/class at cursor's position without having to press K. We only have to press it once and then the plugin can follow the cursor.

Yeah, sorry that won't happen, because I don't think it's worth the hassle (just the maintenance alone).

To be honest I also don't really understand when that would be really useful. Isn't it more practical to open with K and quickly close again to save screen space?
