Change default for show_call_signatures to 2

[blueyed]

This appears to be less error-prone.

E.g. with things like indenting plugins (Vimjas/vim-python-pep8-indent#41).

Hmm true, I'm just not sure if it's what I want. I actually like the way of show_call_signatures = 1 more, because it's what most IDE's do. I get however that it's a bit buggy.

Since we don't have the same opinion about this, I would like to gather community votes. If a majority of people prefers show_call_signatures = 2, I would be willing to change. In the end it's just changing a default, so people could still have the other behavior.

+1, even though less pretty.

[blueyed]

👎, because I like them also more (having tried the one in the command line for a while now).

heh, there should be a meme for this situation.

I'm closing this one now, doesn't seem to have generated a lot of interest.

I vote show_call_signatures = 3, open a temporary window.

[davidhalter]

Lol. Hell no. :)

[nicolas33]

Why not? That's how docstring preview works. I guess that extending this feature for signatures is not a crazy idea.

[davidhalter]

It would just add additional complexity. I already don't like specifying show_call_signatures = 2, because it's not a bool value. I believe in simple APIs, if possible.

The docstring preview already support call signatures. They are added there.

[nicolas33]

Well, I don't find that option = number is complex.

Perhaps I took the issue the bad way. Since the signature is in the docstring preview, a good alternative could be to delay the closing of the popup until the closing parenthesis:

whatever. # <-- time the preview pops up.
whatever.call(with, any=parameter) # <-- time the preview gets closed. 

This makes sense because the docstring can still be usefull while typing the parameters, too.
