How do trigger hover info from keyboard shortcut in KATE?

Help
1

I’m trying to find a way to trigger hover information (like LSP hover docs) using a keyboard shortcut in Kate, similar to how Neovim/VSCode use K for hover info. Here’s what I’ve tried so far without success:
From command pallete

  • Diagnostics View → “Show Hover Info” (Does nothing?)

  • More Options → “Show Hover Info” (turns hover info on/off)

Is there any way to:

  • Assign a keyboard shortcut to trigger hover info at cursor position?

  • Access this functionality through the command menu?

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Diagnostics View → “Show Hover Info” (Does nothing?)

This is to show any information if diagnostics panel has something for the line, for example

But to answer your question, you can get the hover info with “Symbol Info” shortcut
