Suggestion: Super Quick Info for the "Parameter Info" box
Hello, your Super Quick Info is very attractive in both functionality and aesthetics. I was wondering if there's any chance to bring it to the Parameter Info box in the near future. Currently it looks like this
which is out of tone with how beautiful Super Quick Info looks.
Yes, this is something I have wanted too. By comparison VS's parameter info box looks very dull.
Is it because you have installed another extension which conflicts with Codist?
It should look like the following:
@wmjordan I think what is meant is not the tooltip when you hover over a parameter, but a tooltip / info box when you are typing in - VS shows you various overloads and provides a short description of the parameter you are entering (i.e. when writing a method call for example).
Yes, as @fitdev pointed out, this is the information you get when you'd press Ctrl+Shift+Space (or Ctrl+K, P), command named Display Parameter Info. It is distinct from the tooltip I get from hovering over the parameter:
Also, I completely ditched the other extension that interferes with Codist as I prefer to be able to interact with the shown tooltip (which is not possible when ReSharper's EnhancedToolTip is installed).
Oh, I see. You want Codist to replace the Parameter Info box with a better implementation. Hmm, since the Roslyn is open-sourced, maybe I can learn from them and make some improvements. But it takes time. I can't guarantee you whether, or when this will be implemented.
Yeah, I fully understand that an extension like this will be forever work in progress as numerous options and features can be added to it. I appreciate you're taking into consideration the possibility of adding this at a later time.
I studied the source code of Roslyn and read that the Parameter Info window has something to do with the auto-completion feature. Replacing one thing might requires replacing both of them. That isn't an easy task.
What about replacing the default small tooltip that appears when you select items in Intellisense dropdown - is it similarly difficult to replace as the parameter info window?
is it similarly difficult to replace as the parameter info window?
Unfortunately, yes. See #13, which has been there for almost 5 years.
