Visual Studio hast wo feature that are similar to this idea:

 

1. It has a Code Definition Window (in QtCreator this could be in the pane 
with Issues …)

If this window is visible and the cursor in the editor windows is on any item 
that has a definition, that definition is shown in the Code Definition Window.

2. The Text Editor has an option (in Options/Text Editor/General) to 
“Enable mouse click to perform Go to Definition with a selectable modifier key 
(Ctrl, Alt or Ctrl+Alt)  and a sub-option to “Open definition in peek view”. 
This is the new editor you described. The peek view can be close or promoted to 
a full editor window. If the definition is in the same file the editor is 
position to the definition (and the defining token highlighted).

 

Greetings

Helmut

I also was thinking about to trigger this, let's name it inline editor, 
via some shortcut and not as a result of a tooltip event. But I guess a 
delayed popup for the mouse user wouldn't hurt either.

I am assuming that the overlay would appear after some delay, because 
otherwise moving the mouse around could make the navigation pretty 
confusing.

I prefer the function signature and, most importantly, the documentation 
of the function to be shown in the popup, not the code.


I can do ctrl+click on the function name and then "back button" on the 
mouse to take a look at the code.


In your suggestion, I would make code optional by having a "..." field 
in the pop-up. If I hover (or click?) that, *then* the code would be 
displayed. But not by default. Code in pop-ups is just too much and gets 
in the way of the actually useful information.

Re: [Qt-creator] Crazy improvement idea #2

[Andy]

Also thinking out loud since I haven't used such a feature before...

Would it be possible/reasonable/still useful to put the code somewhere
other than a popup that obscures the text in the editor? Maybe in a panel
on the right (like the docs) or a "console" below?

I already find that some things that pop up beside the cursor get in the
way because they are too long or I'm not even trying to activate it, but
the contents can be useful sometimes.

Re: [Qt-creator] Crazy improvement idea #2

[Michael Jackson]

I think this is a good idea. Another feature along the same lines is when you 
hover over a macro I want to see the fully resolved code even for deeply nested 
macros. I miss this from Eclipse.

 

Just my 2 Cents.

I think it would be faster, without the abrubt diconnect of switching files. 

 

Anyway, I'm throwing these ideas out there to see what sticks. If people like

As a refinement to the idea, if there was a documentation string, that would be

Hi,

I started working on a similar feature, but never exceeded the state of 
an early concept. The results of this concept weren't promising enough 
for me to keep on working further on this.


If you are interested in participating in the development  of the 
feature I'ld suggest you to open a report for this on bugreports.qt.io 
and I add you to the patch on gerrit as a reviewer, so we can discuss 
details of the implementation and functionality there.
