I'm making a change to PyDev and will submit a pull request if appropriate. But I'd like to know if there's a better way to do what I'm trying to do, or if the behavior I'm after is not of general interest.
The issue I'm having is that I implemented a hover participant, and I'd like it to preempt the TextHover contributions from PyDev when it has something to contribute. This was a simple change, including the addition of a preference to toggle the behavior of ignoring PyDev's TextHover info when one or more hover participants contributes hover info. However, it seems I should probably make a more general mod as well, even though the above meets my current use case. What I have in mind is to add two attributes to the hover participant extension point. One attribute is an integer that specifies priority, and the other is a boolean that specifies whether or not to preempt PyDev's built-in TextHover. The behavior will be that registered hover participants will be called in decreasing priority order, and as soon as one contributes hover info, the remaining participants are not invoked. If any participant contributes hover info, the built-in PyDev TextHover will be invoked subsequently only if the aforementioned boolean attribute for the contributing participant specifies that PyDev TextHover should not be ignored. Does this make sense? Is there a better way to approach it? Is this behavior of general interest? -Mark ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Site24x7 APM Insight: Get Deep Visibility into Application Performance APM + Mobile APM + RUM: Monitor 3 App instances at just $35/Month Monitor end-to-end web transactions and take corrective actions now Troubleshoot faster and improve end-user experience.
