Really hating all the crap being put into VS code and want a switch.

Im mostly working in C and some Python/Lua and just want to know if I can get parameter hints the same way I do in VS code. It’s a bummer to have to peek at the docs every time I forget what parameters something takes.

I like lightweight programs so Kate is my first thought but if it does t I’ll just go to Kdevelop. Currently using Geany for my really small projects or tests.

Bonus question, if I’m using raylib for game dev, how would those hints work (if at all) in Kate? If Kate is using an LSP for autocompletion, how would that work for a library like Raylib? Sorry I’ve never actually considered this all before now!

Thanks all

    Raylib is a library for making games. Just a framework.

    The reason I ask is because I know what an LSP does but I don’t know how it does it, ya know? I’m not really familiar with how autocomplete and parameter hints work, so would it work the same way a language like C’s autocomplete and parameter hints work or does it just work the same way.

    Does that make sense? I tried looking for some answers and was just a bit confused, so I asked here instead.
