Keyboard shortcut to show hover tooltip
Visual Studio-CodeVisual Studio-Code Problem Overview
Visual Studio-Code Solutions
Solution 1 - Visual Studio-Code
Press Ctrl + K, Ctrl + I, that's what you want
Solution 2 - Visual Studio-Code
If you're using the VSCodeVim plugin, you can use gh
to show the tooltip.
Solution 3 - Visual Studio-Code
The corresponding cmd name in VS Keybindings is editor.action.showHover
. On mac for me the key combo was:
⌘ Command + k
⌘ Command + i
You can also access it through your command palette by typing show hover
. It will show you the current keybinding and you can execute it as well.
If you would like you can remap it like this:
{
"key": "ctrl+e",
"command": "editor.action.showHover",
"when": "editorTextFocus"
}
With that, if your cursor is within an error/warning squiggly line, you can hit ctrl+e
to show what you would normally see with hover.
To make the box disappear, I am having to hit escape. It would be cool if there was a editor.action.toggleHover
or something like that, but in the meantime this works great!
Solution 4 - Visual Studio-Code
2021 Update- As far as I can tell, the new command that we're all looking for here is:
"Show Definition Preview Hover"
The shortcut for that command was unbound. I set it back to ctrl+h, which is what worked for me in the past. Here's more info-

Solution 5 - Visual Studio-Code
You could use Ctrl + Shift + M to show all the errors:
and then use Ctrl + . to show the list of the Quick Fixes.
Solution 6 - Visual Studio-Code
Show Hover is the command, Ctrl+K Ctrl+I is the keybinding.
Solution 7 - Visual Studio-Code
A simple way, which is also on the official site of Microsoft, is the simultaneous use of ctr + k + i are together.
