Hello,
STM32CubeIDE.
Is it possible to show hints (description of the function, description of the parameters of the function, description of the return value) when calling function?
I made this function (see Figure 1) and made documenting comment. When I calling this function or I hover the cursor over the function name a tooltip with the function code pops up, but I want to see description of the function (@brief parameter from documenting comment, see Figure 1).
Figure 1

It will show the comments before the function definition (not declaration), plus the function code, automatically. This is what "Combined Hover" does. Probably you don't have comments before the definition, only the declaration. Don't think you can change this behavior.

Hello @Mykola_Levun,
I think it should be here: windows> preferences

Hello @Sarra.S,
It is not work (see Figure 2).
Figure 2
When I check the box next to Documentation, then I get an error "'Documentation' hover uses the same modifier as 'Combined Hover' hover" (see Figure 2). When I uncheck the box next to Combined Hover, then there is no error, but when I calling function or I hover the cursor over the function name, there is no a tooltip.

Yes, obviously there is a conflict, since both combined hover and documentation have key modifier blank.. you should set a key modifier for one of them

I did it (see Figure 3), but tooltips from the documentation comment are not shown; hovering over the function name only shows the function code.

Hello @TDK,
Everything works as you explained. Thank you for explanation.

The problem is that it is not working how it should be. It should be clearly formatted hint with Javadoc or similar style, based on the info from the comment. Without any of the source code. Just like it works in the Eclipse for Java. In this case is completely unusable, especially when Dark Mode is enabled.

Why would Javadoc be used for C code? Why is Eclipse for Java relevant? This isn't Java.
