Ultimate Hover

Enhances your hover displays, enriches your data presentation and improves your development workflow

Features

There are multiple different hover improvements included in this extension, working seamlessly in any type of a file. Below is a list of all hover improvements!

URL

Hover over a URL to instantly determine the availability of the linked service, displaying error codes if unavailable. If the URL directs to an image, experience a live preview of the image simply by hovering over the link, allowing quick insights before clicking.

File path

When hovering over an absolute or relative file path, expect insights into the potential file, showcasing additional details tailored to the file type. For images (also .gifs), enjoy a live preview; for text files, view formatted text snippets. For unrecognized extensions, access general file information like memory usage and creation time etc. providing valuable insights with each hover. For path to directory, gain a preview showcasing the files and folders contained within it.

Note that relative file paths will only work for saved files and paths containing file extension.
