"Definition & Reference" hover for sublime-syntax context names

[michaelblyons]

Is there a way to get this thing for named contexts in .sublime-syntax? Ideally, I'd like the hover to be available (and to include) both definitions and uses... maybe even across files? (e.g. Git Formats/Git Common)

Yes and no. Yes, it is possible, but I would need to remove the string scopes because ST explicitly excludes them currently.

Upstream issue: sublimehq/sublime_text#2546

Thanks. That's exactly what I was looking for.

Lurkers, you can hack in the References hover on a context definition by dropping the string scope in context_definition's set:

PackageDev/Package/Sublime Text Syntax Definition/Sublime Text Syntax Definition.sublime-syntax

Line 219 in ec46274

- meta_scope: string.unquoted.plain.out.yaml entity.name.function.context.sublime-syntax

You are also able to F12 to definitions from includes, but I haven't seen the hover on them.
