#+TITLE: ElDoc box This package displays ElDoc documentations in a childframe. #+CAPTION: Using with eglot in python-mode [[./screenshot.png]] * Install Get the file, add to load path, and #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp (require 'eldoc-box) #+END_SRC * Usage ** Function - =eldoc-box-hover-mode= :: Show documentation upon hover. Note that you need to enable ElDoc mode for this to work. - =eldoc-box-hover-at-point-mode= :: This minor mode shows doc at point. Don't try to enable both minor mode: you can only enable one in the same time. ** Face - =eldoc-box-border= :: Adjust =:background= of this face for border color. - =eldoc-box-body= :: Adjust =:background= of this face for background color of childframe. ** Variable - =eldoc-box-max-pixel-width= & =eldoc-box-max-pixel-height= :: Set them according to the screen resolution of your machine. - =eldoc-box-only-multi-line= :: Set this to non-nil and eldoc-box only display multi-line message in childframe. One line messages are left in minibuffer. - =eldoc-box-cleanup-interval= :: After this amount of seconds will eldoc-box attempt to cleanup the childframe. E.g. if it is set to 1, the childframe is cleared 1 second after you moved the point to somewhere else (that doesn't have a doc to show). This doesn't apply to =eldoc-box-hover-at-point-mode=, in that mode the childframe is cleared as soon as point moves. ** Use with eglot As of writing this README, eglot doesn't have a public mode hook, use this hook: #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp (add-hook 'eglot--managed-mode-hook #'eldoc-box-hover-mode t) #+END_SRC
