Any way to see documentation of autocomplete suggestions without pressing F12

#1

I am using sublime text 4 with multiple lsp’s .

when i get presented with possible matching css classes of tailwind, i can then press arrow keys to select the desired class, but i want to the doc when i press arrow keys,
As per below page ,it is only possible using F12 key press.

I thought of creating as pluggin to intercept if i can detect from sublime when user is pressing arrow keys inside auto-complete suggestion bar and then simulate sublime command for showing documentation, but sublime doesn’t expose any api for that.

Is it possible? It is kinda said paying for an editor which is lacking stuff like this even when vim and VsCode have them , this is basic . You can’t expect everyone to press f12 , can you?

This is currently not possible per design. It’s not a “lack of feature” but a design decision not to display walls of text automatically, which would possibly cover huge portions of text content unintentionally.
