Tooltip with warning only
The LSP plugin can show tooltips hovering over identifiers, such as the type of
a variable. Also, when hovering over code with an error or warning, it shows
the message in a different kind of tooltip. However, the tooltip containing the
error message *replaces* the regular tooltip; if a variable is in a part of the
code that results in a warning, one can't see the tooltip containing the type
of the variable, even when it would still be meaningful, and it's still
provided by the language server.
A common occurrence where this is a problem is when I define a new variable
with an automatically deduced type (in Typescript, but it could also be C++),
and I'd like to see the deduced type, the language server immediately warns me
that it's unused, and so I can't view the deduced type until I use the
variable.
I suggest showing a tooltip that contains both the regular tooltip (e.g. the
type of a variable) and the error message when possible.
