Description
Currently, the completion description window of AutoComplete can only be set to either always visible or always hidden.
When always visible, it always opens even when the active auto-completion item contains no detailed documentation, causing unnecessary UI clutter. On the other hand, leaving it always disabled prevents users from seeing useful documentation when it is available.
Current Behavior
- Description window is permanently active or permanently disabled via global settings.
- When active, it pops up even if no description text is present for the currently selected completion item.
Expected / Desired Behavior
- An on-demand mode where the description window remains hidden by default.
- Users can press a configurable shortcut (e.g., Ctrl + Q / Cmd + J, similar to IntelliJ IDEA / Eclipse) to toggle or bring up the description window for the currently selected item in the completion list.
- If no description is available for the active item, pressing the shortcut should either do nothing or display an indicator (e.g. "No documentation available").
Use Case / Context
- Improves editor UX by keeping the code view clean while still allowing quick access to documentation when requested.
