Bug ID: 412683
Summary: [Feature Request] More options to configure Code
Browser behaviour
Product: kdevelop
Version: 5.4.2
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: UI: general
Assignee: kdevelop-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: inbox@willchen.business
Target Milestone: ---
Currently, the code browser plugin seems to wrap up multiple behaviours into
one product:
1) It provides the "Code Browser" Tool View that is placed at the bottom of the
window by default.
2) It provides a cursor-based tooltip showing the same information if that Tool
View is hidden.
3) It highlights all occurrences of the name under the text cursor in the
editing view.
There is not, to my knowledge, any way to configure which of these features are
active at once. The plugin can be either completely enabled, or completely
disabled.
It would be nice to have a bit more granularity in choosing which of these
features are enabled and how they all work.
Particularly annoying at times is the pop-up tooltip that shows by default.
While it does provide access to information that can sometimes be useful, it
also blocks the view of a large chunk of code whenever you move the mouse. It's
especially bad with a dark theme, as described in bug #257378. However, it can
still be disruptive for some users even with a light theme, and there's
currently no way to disable it without also losing the other features that you
may want to keep.
