4 years ago Thank you for the feature request.
It reminded me that years ago I had the similar idea when I was developing the Super Quick Info and felt that the tool tip was a bit too small (but I did not want to enlarge it too much) and it might disappear if I clicked somewhere else, that was inconvenient if the Quick Info contained longish but useful information.
It could take quite some efforts to implement that feature. You can take a look at this extension to see whether it extension suite your needs: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=OlegShilo.DocPreview

Would it be feasible to use the same (or similar) rendering logic from Super Quick Info as a sort of XML Comment (the
/// <summary>...</summary>kind) viewer in your own code. Something that could easily toggle to editing the XML comments but which is easier to read at a glance and navigate with.Seems like it would be ideal to have similar configuration, but as separate settings for the inline preview (so the code viewer could show remarks, etc. by default even if you don't want those in the tool-tip side). Alternatively, it might be nice to just have all sections that are explicitly specified in the comments and maybe make the sections collapsible. Just some first thoughts; hopefully they make some sense.
