Slightly off topic here but do you (or anyone) happen to know how to get old Eglot behaviour back of showing entire types and parameter information instead of only the first line? It has been bugging me whole week and I cannot seem to find any fix for this.
Are you referring to the eldoc help text in the echo area at the bottom? Hard to know without more specifics, but maybe one thing to check might be the value of eldoc-echo-area-use-multiline-p. I have mine explicitly set to `nil` because I find the default eldoc behavior of constantly resizing the echo area to fit more information to be very distracting. I instead have a keybinding to call `eldoc` (an alias for `eldoc-print-current-symbol-info`) on demand, which opens a side split that shows the full symbol information.
Yes I am talking about the help text in echo area. In newer versions apparently they only show a single line by truncating the eldoc-doc-buffer content(not super sure on this but they do truncate to 1 line). eldoc-echo-area-use-multiline-p does not work for that sadly.
Apparently this was changed only recently. I am surprised not many people know/talk about this change. Still looking for a fix.
Edit: I do agree it is annoying but for unknown codebases it helped me a lot.
