Completion popup stopped showing inner keys preview, likely because of IDEA update

klesun commented 3 years ago

I relied on a hack of sorts that updated already displayed options by implementing a mutable LookupElement. The update is required because showing preview values often takes one exponential step longer than just the keys list.

Possible solutions:

Find another workaround to show values preview async
- I kind of found that you can implement LookupElement::getExpensiveRenderer() and by putting there Thread.sleep(20) the behaviour becomes similar to how it was, but it works only half of the times.
Refactor code to have simple types (like $var = ['a' => 1, 'b' => 2]) value info available in a non-lazy way and show it instantly

I'm adopting such approach for now. I think in deep-js it works similarly.

2020.12.19.001 - basic preview implemented

There is still some dead code and missing functionality left: some syntax constructs and comments. Will need to eventually migrate them to this new approach that does not rely on updating preview window - will leave this issue open till comments are back in preview window at least.
