Intellij/Pycharm: Quick definition does not work properly when plugin enabled

[FeralFox]

What I did

• Enabling the plugin in IntelliJ IDEA
• Show quick definition of a function or class

What happened

The quick definition shows the content of the file containing the selected function.

What I wanted to happen

The quick definition only shows the content of the selected function

My environment

• IntelliJ IDEA 2019.3.4, Live Coding plugin enabled
• When disabling the plugin, quick definition works as expected again

Thanks for the bug report, I can reproduce the problem here. In case I forget, the keyboard shortcut for quick definitions is Ctrl+Shift+I.

I'm reverting the fix for this, because I can't replace the default editor. It ends up listing two editors at the bottom of the window.

It looks like the only way to show the definition instead of the whole file is if the editor provider is an instance of TextEditorProvider. Otherwise, the whole file is displayed and foundElement isn't used.

Commit 04355ff converted SplitFileEditorProvider to be a subclass of TextEditorProvider, and it did start displaying just the function definition. However, I couldn't hide the default editor, because now my replacement is also a subclass of DefaultPlatformFileEditorProvider.

I'll post a question in the forum to see if there's some other way to get the quick definition working.
