The Hover request should return some information that can be useful in the context

Ideas:

  • Variables: type if available (maybe requires symbol table, but could probably be more simply derived; register/wire/parameter/localparam; if possible to determine without going too much in elaboration-weeds: width. Input, output ?)
  • Blocks: when hovering over the end block - if this is a labelled block, name of the label
  • generalized to endmodule, endfunction... name of the corresponding thing.

Some simple things can probably be relatively easily be derived, others might need symbol table.

Is there any plan for adding hover info for literals, say to show what a binary literal is in hex or decimal? Or utility functions (e.g. $clog2)/other keywords (always_ff), to show parameters + basic info? If not I'd be willing to take a stab at it.

There are many ideas that could be implemented, alas there is not enough time.
So yes, please take a stab!
