Documentation keeps popping up
1. The problem you're facing
Whenever I type something, annoying documentation keeps popping up which is very unhelpful.
2. What is currently happening
Someone thought it made sense to show live documentation based on text you're typing. So for example when I am typing the word
index to declare a simple variable for a loop, I see a popup with documentation for input by the time I've typed in and IndexError when I reach ind. Not only is this terrible UX it's actually also slowing down the UI making the whole thing feel laggy and clunky.
3. What you expect to happen
I expect this to be removed because to me it makes zero sense to have this feature. What's more baffling is that when I actually am calling a function / method / constructor I don't see any documentation which at least would make some sense. There I need to repeatedly hover over the name to view the documentation.
But assuming completely removing it gets some pushback, likely from whoever came up with this in the first place, maybe at least add a setting to disable it.5 replies
