## What it is
A Neovim plugin that displays LSP function signature hints in a floating window or virtual text as you type. It complements completion plugins that lack signature help support and supports parameter highlighting and overloaded signatures.

## Use cases
- show function signature hints while typing in neovim
- add signature help to completion plugins that don't support it
- highlight the current parameter in function calls
- display multiple overloaded function signatures
- show next parameter hint as virtual text

## When to choose
- you use Neovim 0.10+ with LSP and want inline signature hints
- your completion plugin lacks signature help
- you prefer virtual-text parameter hints over floating windows

## When to avoid
- you use an editor other than Neovim
- your completion engine already provides signature help
- you run Neovim older than 0.10 without using the legacy branches
