hover on macro variables (#xxxx) to show description of it #2

First thank you for the extension. It works great.

Just one small question: would it be able to show the description of the macro variables when hovering on it? currently it displays the current value of the variables on hover.

We have a lot of macros for various machines and used a large amount of system variables or common variables in the macros. Each time when we edit or view a macro, we have to search the manual for the meaning of the variables. It's really a pain. It would be a great help if we could somehow check the description of the variables within Vscode.

Thank you.

Thanks for the good word.

By system variables do you mean for example Fanuc system macro variables like shown below? https://www.machinetoolhelp.com/Applications/macro/system_variables.html

And what do you mean by common variables? It's another name for system variables or perhaps user defined variables?

yes.

local variable: #1 - #33 common variable ( user defined global variable) : #100 -#999 system variable: #1000 +
