Hello,
I'm getting an

Error running timer `company-quickhelp--show': (wrong-type-argument listp default:inherit)

twice in a row when waiting for a tooltip in company, and sometimes I'm getting an

Error while displaying tooltip: (wrong-type-argument listp default:inherit)

twice in a row in Messages buffer, but can't figure out when. And no tooltips at all.
GNU Emacs 25.0.50.6 (x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 3.14.8), compiled from source.

I am not getting any popup documentation using company for completion.

I have this in my init.el:

(global-company-mode)
(company-quickhelp-mode 1)

I have tested with elisp in the scratch buffer and no popup :-(

I am using:
GNU Emacs 24.3.50.1
company 20150220.1432
company-quickhelp 20150215.250
on OSX Yosemite.

When committing using Magit ("c c" from Magit main buffer), an error occurs and then commit message buffer appears. However, when the commit message is submitted ("C-c C-c" from Magit commit message buffer), nothing actually happens.

Here is the error:

*ERROR*: Company: frontend company-quickhelp-frontend error "Symbol's function definition is void: pos-tip-hide" on command hide

If I disable company-quickhelp the error goes away.

To reproduce:

• Open a help buffer with C-h f
• In the scratch buffer, start typing. Navigating candidates will update the contents of the help buffer in addition to displaying the quickhelp pos-tip.

Hi, thanks for this package.

the font of the tip shown on my machine is not like other part of emacs (which is manoco). do you know how to change it?

This prompt below appears on every keystroke, to choose among the available candidates before grabbing documentation for our popup.

When using company quickhelp and Alchemist (Elixir completion server) often Emacs will hang and use 100% CPU. The only solution seems to be to restart Emacs by force-quitting it.
The author of Alchemist seems to think this is caused by an incompatibility between company quickhelp and the asynchronous way Alchemist returns documentation.

Would it be worth adding a toggle on/off function? I was using the following because the overlay was blocking the dropdown on occasion

(defun company-quickhelp-toggle ()
  "Toggle pos-tip on and off."
  (interactive)
  (or (x-hide-tip)
      (company-quickhelp-manual-begin)))
(define-key company-quickhelp-mode-map (kbd "M-h")
  #'company-quickhelp-toggle)

"GNU Emacs 24.5.1 (i686-pc-mingw32) of 2015-04-11 on LEG570"
Windows 7

It slows down most company operations. It hangs all the time for a few seconds.

Tested with elpy-mode (a python) mode and emacs-lisp-mode

Emacs 25.1.1 on redhat 6.6
When I first open the window I get a flicker when the postips show up.
The redraw is not acting correctly.
I can immediately correct this by resizing the frame with my mouse. Then the flicker goes away.

This only happens in daemon mode (when I run 'emacs' I don't see the issue).

Position of company quickhelp pop has started overlapping and hiding the company popup. Typing more characters becomes difficult because one cannot see. I am on GNU Emacs 24.5.

I did not observe this issue earlier, although I had quickhelp enabled. Maybe some recent change caused this?

RT.

Could probably use focus-out-hook to hide the popup.

hi,
this is my Backtrace when i use quickhelp

I have no idea why

Does this work in emacs -nw or the GUI only?

I've got the quickhelp popup working fine in the cider-repl buffer. In Clojure buffers, on the other hand, I only get the help popup for 'def', no other text triggers it. I get the company completion popup as expected, for any valid prefixes, but as I move over the candidates, no help is shown - except it is for 'def'.

I'm on Windows 8.1 64 bit, Emacs 24.5.1

On OSX by default, M-h will hide the current window, so emacs will just "disappear". In addition, if I try ESC h instead, I just trigger emacs' default M-h behavior. Maybe suggest C-c h or something similar?

I'm running emacs in terminal mode ( -nw ), version 24.5.1.

I noticed this really cool plugin and wanted to try it out. Unfortunately, when running company-quickhelp-manual-begin manually, I noticed the error:

Error running timer `company-quickhelp--show': 
(user-error "Company-quickhelp doesn't work in the terminal")

Please make this plugin work with emacs terminal mode.

I've tried using M-x customize-group RET company-quickhelp RET to find out how to customize faces. I've done the same with pos-tip, and followed this advice. However, I'm still unable to change the faces.

Any hints on what may be happening?

Thanks for this great package!

Hello. Could it be possible to get a variable to set the max height of the quick help (for example, to 10 lines -- such as the max height of my Company menu)?

Thanks in advance!

This package looks cool, so I'd love to have support for it in company-coq. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to work out of the box: using M-h yields:

Error running timer ‘company-quickhelp--show’: (wrong-type-argument stringp (#<buffer *company-coq: documentation*> . 34))

Hovering on candidates just shows the documentation buffer (company-coq displays the window by itself, so that's expected, but no pos-tip window is shown).

I'm using Emacs 24.5.1 on Windows 10 64 bit, with the latest packages from Melpa as of 4/22/2016.

After quickhelp pops up initially for a symbol, it blanks out for a fraction of a second and then re-displays the content. Is this a known issue or is there some parameter that could be causing this?

Here is the situation: the popup dialogue of doc info is not besides the candidate list, but appears quite randomly, as shown below. (sometime, quite less frequently, it works well.) The worst case is like the last picture. It is my first time use company-quickhelp. Any ideas? Many thanks!

Configurations:

(require 'company)
(add-hook 'after-init-hook 'global-company-mode)
(company-quickhelp-mode 1)

• company-quickhelp-20170119.2217
• emacs-25.1.91.1
• pos-tip-20150318.813

Auto-complete does this and I am curious if it could ever be possible to support the helpful pop ups on a non-GUI emacs?

I cannot get it working.
It displays below error during initialization.

I am getting the following error and I do not know how to fix it:

I just started using company-quickhelp and I love it. But I was wondering if it's possible to open it in a new buffer, helm style, instead of using pos-tip.

Thanks!

Using company-quickhelp with elpy and Emacs 25.0.50, I see this behavior when completing:

Hi,

This package seems to locate its quickhelp in the right middle of its completion list like this.

I'd like to adjust it up to the top right of its completion list like as eldoc in AC package.
Could you please let me know how to do it?

I believe this was introduced with #57. It's a scope issue with the let block.

I have a few custom keybinds I use for company mode:

(define-key company-active-map (kbd "C-j") 'company-select-next)
(define-key company-active-map (kbd "C-k") 'company-select-previous)
(define-key company-active-map (kbd "C-ü") 'helm-company)
(define-key company-active-map (kbd "<tab>") 'company-complete-common-or-cycle)

If I activate company-quickhelp-mode the first two keybindings will no longer work and
instead execute their globally bound (evil-mode) actions instead. The latter two keybinds
continue working as inteded. I also tried using C-w, C-s and J, K as well.

The former was equally broken while the latter was working properly.

This issue only appeas if company-quickhelp-mode is active and the popup was visible. I'm able to use C-j and C-k to cycle though the completion candidates if no popup has yet appeared.

I'm using company version 0.9.0-cvs and the newest company-quickhelp installed from github via el-get.

company-quickhelp overwrite the mark-region keybinding (M-h).
Please let this decision to the user configuration.
Regards

Sometimes the quickhelp popup position overlap with candidates, and maybe shifted when move between candidates. (OSX 10.9.5 + Emacs 24.5)

Hi, I'm experiencing an issue on OS X, and other members of the /r/emacs subreddit are seeing it too. On the github homepage for company quickhelp it shows this image, in which the documentation panel is basically an extension of the company completion menu. What I get instead (on OS X) is a little more disjointed interface that looks like this. It looks like this might be a bug in pos-tip, company quickhelp, or potentially a setup issue. Are there settings I can change that will allow pos-tip to present documentation in a way that better integrates with the company completion menu? I've already left a note for @pitkali on the pos-tip page.

For reference I'm running Emacs 25.1.50 (9.0) on OS X Yosemite (version 10.10.5).

I got the problem in elixir-mode.
Example: I type: Map. then a list candidates but i can't select any of them. This problem is only occurred in elixir mode. I also tried in emacs-lisp-mode then it works fine. Can you help me to fix that?

Any chance to see this replacement ? When using emacs 25, pos-tip is a pain.

So as I'm typing something in a Clojure buffer, company's completion box appears. After ~3.5 seconds (delay is consistent, I measure it a few times) a help window shows up. If I then start switching between completion candidates, the delay before help appears is the expected 0.5 seconds. Any ideas where the initial delay comes from?

Env: the very latest CIDER, cider-nrepl, company and company-quickhelp.

company-quickhelp make navigation in company popup menu slow. I hope company-quickhelp doc popup can be triggered manually through a function keybinding.
Like this:

(setq company-quickhelp-delay 0.3) ; TODO: set to `nil' to trigger popup doc manually.
(define-key company-active-map (kbd "<f1>") 'company-show-doc-buffer)
(if (functionp 'company-quickhelp--show)
    ;; (define-key company-active-map (kbd "M-h") 'company-quickhelp--show)
    (define-key company-active-map (kbd "M-h") 'company-quickhelp--show)
  (define-key company-active-map (kbd "M-h") 'company-show-doc-buffer)
  )

It works in elisp-mode,but it didn't work in golang.
This is my emacs config:

(use-package company-quickhelp
  :ensure t
  :config
  (company-quickhelp-mode 1)
  (setq company-quickhelp-delay 0.2)
  )
(provide 'init-company-quickhelp)

Thanks for your help!

1. M-x company-quickhelp-mode
2. C-x 3
3. use some company & quickhelp
4. switch to second buffer and first one are closed automatically

With the delay set to 0.5, emacs became almost unresponsive, I had to hit C-g a bunch and wait and hope.

This is with emacs 25 (railwaymacs port) on OSX, trying company-quickhelp on an Elixir buffer (using the alchemist package).

Quickhelp works quite well in an elisp buffer.

This issue is known in alchemist: tonini/alchemist.el#210

I have installed company-quickhelp version 20150611.2305 from Melpa with these dependencies:

• company-0.8.9
• pos-tip-0.4.6

I started experiencing a weird bug today, the initialization of emacs daemon was freeze exactly on the line (company-quickhelp-mode 1) in my Emacs configuration. I've been using company-quickhelp for about two weeks or so but this is the first time it presents a critical issue like this one.

Starting a non-daemon session of emacs don't get freeze during initialization.

Hello,
I think it would be nice to be able to color certain elements in the text just like syntax highlighting. this would be possible with 'pos-tip-show-no-propertize' instead of 'pos-tip-show'. Let me know what you think.

It seems pos-tip only supports GUI system. Do you have any plan to support Non-GUI system, or move it to popup which supports both systems? Thanks!

First of all, thanks for the great plugin!

This screenshot is from emacs-fsharp-mode. It looks as if company-quickhelp doesn't respect line breaks that appear in the output.

I can understand the text wrapping, but I think that line breaks should be respected because it makes the popup quite difficult to read otherwise.

Here is the screenshot.

Hi! Single line help is vertically truncated at the bottom. That is I don't see lower half of the text.

Emacs 25.1 under Manjaro Linux/KDE is in use.

First, let me say that I'm really glad I stumbled upon this package, because documentation pop-ups were the one thing I missed from auto-complete!

I've got a suggestion: bind the company-quickhelp-manual-begin command to company-active-map instead of company-quickhelp-mode-map. This way, the binding only applies when we are selecting company candidates, not all the time.

This is a really nice feature, thank you!

In emacs-lisp-mode (I don't know what else you support) I noticed that it only works for items that have been loaded into the REPL. It would be good if it also worked for projects as defined by Cask definitions, in much the way that flycheck is able to check a project based on the Cask definition.
