Does anyone know how to get hints in IDA? - plugins

Does anyone know how to get hints in IDA? Is there any api?
I googled and checked ida's official documentation and didn't find any useful information.
I want to write an ida plugin to get hints information during debugging to facilitate quick comment in ida.
Anyone who can provide hints or directions to solve the problem would be greatly appreciated!
Hints (aka tooltips) are popup windows with text which appear when you hover the mouse cursor over a particular item in IDA. They are available in many situations....

Is there a way to get a help panel in vscode similar to rstudio?

I wanted to ask if there was a simple way to get a help panel in vscode to show function/object documentation similar to the one in RStudio (See example here: http://mercury.webster.edu/aleshunas/R_learning_infrastructure/images/RStudio%20-%20help%20panel.png).
I know you can mouse over a function to get some details but I'd like an easier way to have the complete documentation in vscode without switching to a web browser.
Thanks!

Link key/button to the I'l feeling lucky from Play Music

so I always have a tab in Chrome opened with google play music, it's actually pinned so it's just there.
I'm wondering if there is any way to link a hotkey to the I'm feeling lucky option, I've been looking for quite some time but didn't find anything of help.
Button looks like this:
Thanks!
I've looked and asked on the AHK forums but don't know how many people are active there so thought I might give it a try here as well. Googled around but sadly didn't find anything of use or what I did find was a bit too complicated for me and didn't know how to apply it to what I needed.
There is no straightforward solution for this in AHK.
You need control over your browser in order to achieve this without interrupting your current navigation.
For controlling chrome with AHK: https://github.com/G33kDude/Chrome.ahk
There are probably multiple ways of doing this, but the easiest I can think of would be to use the ImageSearch command to get you the coordinates of the button and using Click or MouseClick to click the button.
If you're unfamiliar with the syntax or how to use these commands, please see the online documentation here: ImageSearch, MouseClick, Click.
Please post your code if you need additional assistance and/or to help out others who might have the same or similar question in future.

emacs: how to get help on the word/function under cursor quickly?

I would like to see help pages when reading Emacs lisp codes. At times, I found I am in the situation of key in C-h a then type the name of function, then use apropos window to get to the help page. Wonder whether there is any better way of getting help on the word/phrase under the cursor?
Similarly, I have the same problem when using S-k to get manual pages.
Anyone knows a good way to handle this? Appreciated.

Powershell Studio OwnerDraw Control

I'm creating a form in Powershell studio but I'm can't get it to look the way I want. The Highlighting on objects once they've been checked or selected is anoying. I've heard I can Use the OwnerDraw control to modify this but the only code for this i can find is in C# and I can't convert it.
I need help with this or just making it so it 'un-highlights' it after say 1 second? I've used the Timer control before so could have it un highlight some how but I can't even find code examples for this either. I'd very much appreciate any help If people understand my question. Thanks.
$checkedlistbox1.SelectedItem = $null
with a timed reset. Sorted. Thank you anyway all that read!

I can't edit a java package in eclipse

There used to be a window where I could just type the code, but then I miss-clicked and now there is a blank window and I can't type anything in there. Please help. I know it's a noob mistake, but i am a noob xD
I would post a screen shot but apparently I don't have enough reputation. I've tried changing perspective. That does nothing, i've tried re-instaling, that also does nothing. Please, I really need some help here
