Hi, you should be able to always show this by manually invoking completion (Ctrl+Space). Does that work? Otherwise, I think this is "working as intended", although it can of course be questioned whether the intention was good -- other IDEs seem to show this tip continously.

Thanks. But unfortunately this seems to disappear on hitting comma or space. would be nice if it persisted until the closing pantheists. is there a configuration for that? Pretty sure there isn't, no. |
Created attachment 138857 [details] current behaviour SUMMARY I want to see function signature of the function I'm calling continuously, when I'm inside function calling brackets. This is shown by the upper tool-tip when calling a function. But it only appears when I'm passing a "string" (C string) or a variable. Once Ive chosen the variable/completed the string, function signature tooltip disappears until I start writing next parameter (which again should be either a string or variable). Ideally I want the upper (function signature) tool-tip to be always on whenever I'm inside function calling brackets. Lower (suggested variables) tool-tip is fine as it is. If implemented this can greatly help writing functions that take lots of numeric parameters. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Open a project. 2. Write a function name (to call). 3. Start putting parameters. 4. Tool-tip disappears between parameters and for numeric parameters. OBSERVED RESULT The function signature is visible only if Im passing strings or variables. EXPECTED RESULT Function signature should be always visible (inside calling brackets).
