Created attachment 157264 [details] Tooltip with warning only The LSP plugin can show tooltips hovering over identifiers, such as the type of a variable. Also, when hovering over code with an error or warning, it shows the message in a different kind of tooltip. However, the tooltip containing the error message *replaces* the regular tooltip; if a variable is in a part of the code that results in a warning, one can't see the tooltip containing the type of the variable, even when it would still be meaningful, and it's still provided by the language server. A common occurrence where this is a problem is when I define a new variable with an automatically deduced type (in Typescript, but it could also be C++), and I'd like to see the deduced type, the language server immediately warns me that it's unused, and so I can't view the deduced type until I use the variable. I suggest showing a tooltip that contains both the regular tooltip (e.g. the type of a variable) and the error message when possible.

Git commit 16399c76ed83fe48037479f3a0b12618e5b5355a by Christoph Cullmann, on behalf of Waqar Ahmed. Committed on 01/04/2023 at 11:46. Pushed by cullmann into branch 'master'. Intoduce KateTextHintManager KateTextHintManager provides centralized async interface to show text hints. It uses KTextEditor::TextHintInterface::textHint() to know when a text hint it is requested. It then sends a request to all providers to create text hint and send it back when the text hint is ready. This allows us to show information from multiple sources inside one tooltip and avoids that everyone has to implement a provider and manage it from scratch.
