How to trigger a popup with documentation for identifier under the cursor?
Normally it appears when hovering the identifier using the mouse pointer:
I would like to achieve this effect using a command or keyboard shortcut.
The only related commands I found are: trigger completion
(which doesn't show the function doc) and trigger parameters hint
(which only works when the cursor is inside function call - parameters list).
This is the editor.action.showHover
command. It is bound to cmdk cmdi by default.
Note: Shortcut works by holding down the cmd [ctrl in windows], then while holding press k then i
You can change the keyboard shortcut with a keybinding such as:
{
"key": "cmd+k ctrl+space",
"command": "editor.action.showHover",
"when": "editorTextFocus"
}
