SystemVerilog -> port tooltip -> how add instance name?

#1

Hi All,

How add a tooltip, which would show what instance the pointed port belongs to?

In a case where there is a long ports list in the instance, it’s hard to see what instance the observed port belongs to. The port’s tooltip only shows the port declaration without indicating what instance the port belongs to.

So, as for me, I see two solutions:

  1. adding a tooltip to the port name, which would indicate what module the current port belongs to
  2. Syncing Editor to Outline Panel (in the opposite direction Output Panel to Editor it’s already synced)

But I don’t know how to implement the above solutions. Does anybody know?

Could you probably suggest another solutions?

As for me this feature is critical because I’m working with the instances with a very long list of the ports.

Thank you in advance!

It is part of the package option, cf. https://github.com/TheClams/SystemVerilog/issues/46#issuecomment-1026548370
