Can't seem to get this to work. I want to see the method description
in the selection candidates. I can get it to work using lsp-ui-doc-
glance but this isn't what i want.

I've tried using all this in my config:

(setq lsp-ui-doc-enable t)

(setq lsp-completion-show-label-description t)

(setq lsp-ui-doc-show-with-cursor t)

(setq lsp-ui-doc-use-webkit t)

(setq lsp-completion-show-label-description t)

(setq lsp-completion-show-detail t)

​

Does lsp-mode just not do this?

https://github.com/company-mode/company-quickhelp or C-d to pop up in
a separate buffer.

Gave this a shot and it worked for elisp but not any my lsp stuff. I
wonder if lsp mode or lsp ui needs something disabled for it to work.
I’ve currently just got all the defaults on?

Which server do you use? (the issue might be just server not having
that info and not seding the documentation for the selected item).

Yeah I did sort of suspect this which is why I was trying on
intelephense for Php and tsserver for JavaScript.

Can you try C-h when the completion is active? it should show the docs
if any.

Yeah I get nothing when I do that. It’s weird that I get the
completions and docs in the lsp-us-doc-glance though isn’t it? Any
idea? I appreciate the help btw.

It is a different source.
