Struct HoverMode 

pub struct HoverMode;

hover-mode — marker minor on the hover popup buffer (activated alongside markdown-mode). Wraps long lines and borrows help-mode’s read-only invocation runner; see the module docs.

Implementations

impl HoverMode

pub fn mode_id() -> ModeId

The canonical id, "hover-mode" — what Mode::id returns. Use it to name this mode without an instance (activation, implies, keymap layers, tests).

Trait Implementations

impl Mode for HoverMode

fn invocation_runner(&self) -> Option<ModeId>

2026-05-26: hover popups want the same read-only motion dispatch help buffers use. Point at help-mode’s runner id so the host’s invocation_runners map (where boot registers Editor::run_help_invocation under help-mode) routes j / k / gg / G through the help runner without needing a separate run_hover_invocation.

type Guard = ()

Owned cleanup token returned by Self::on_activate.

fn id(&self) -> ModeId

Canonical identity. Same value every call.

fn kind(&self) -> ModeKind

Major or minor. Read at registration and on every activation call (activate_major on a minor, or vice versa, is ModeActivationError::WrongKind).

fn options(&self) -> OptionOverrideSet

Option overrides this mode contributes. Pure declarative (same return value every call); the host merges these into the buffer’s option-resolution layer stack while the mode is active, at the mode’s layer (later-activated minors win ties), and drops them on deactivation. Build with lattice_config::overrides! { lattice_config::Wrap = true, … }.

fn required_capabilities(&self) -> CapabilitySet

Capabilities the mode requires. Validated at activation; missing capability ⇒ ModeActivationError::MissingCapability, never silent skip.

fn on_activate( &self, _ctx: ModeContext, ) -> Pin<Box<dyn Future<Output = Result<(), ModeActivationError>> + Send + '_>>

Lifecycle. Called once per (buffer, activation) cycle after the registry has applied the declarative contributions. Returns an owned Guard carrying every resource the mode allocated. The dispatcher stashes the Guard until deactivation, at which point dropping it performs cleanup via the Guard’s Drop impl.

fn target_buffer_kind(&self) -> Option<BufferKind>

For major modes, the BufferKind this mode is the default major for (H.2, 2026-05-31). ModeRegistry::register indexes this so ModeRegistry::find_major_for_kind can dispatch buffer-creation events to the right major without host-side match BufferKind { ... } blocks.

fn target_language(&self) -> Option<&str>

For major modes, the language this mode is the default major for, by canonical name (Lang::name() — "rust", "org") (OM.1). The peer of target_buffer_kind for the dispatch path BufferKind::Document takes: language detection rather than kind dispatch.

fn keymap(&self) -> Keymap

Keymap chord → command additions / overrides.

fn decorations(&self) -> Vec<DecorationProvider>

Decoration providers (gutter / inline / overlay / statusline). Stub — reserved for the WIT plugin path (M.10).

fn gutter_decorations(&self, _ctx: &DecorationCtx<'_>) -> Vec<GutterDecoration>

Gutter sign decorations this mode contributes while active. Called once per pane per frame with a DecorationCtx carrying relevant render-state snapshots (diff sign map, LSP diagnostics arc). Returns per-line GutterDecoration values; the renderer partitions them by variant into the appropriate gutter column. Default: empty (no contribution).

fn completion_sources(&self) -> Vec<CompletionSourceContribution>

Insert-mode completion sources this mode contributes while active on a buffer. Empty by default; minors that own a completion source (lsp-completion-mode, snippet-completion-mode, buffer-words-mode, tree-sitter-completion-mode, path-completion-mode, plugin sources) override.

fn action_handlers(&self) -> Vec<ActionHandlerContribution>

Global (buffer-agnostic) action handlers this mode contributes (SN.3c.0). The host walks every registered mode’s action_handlers() once at boot, resolves each action_name → CommandId, registers the handler in the ActionHandlerRegistry, and holds the tokens for the app’s lifetime. Use this for handlers that read the active buffer / cursor / services from the ActionContext at call time and close over no per-buffer state (e.g. snippet expand). Per-buffer, session-scoped handlers register in on_activate instead, so their tokens drop with the Guard. Default: none. See feedback_effect_vocabulary_is_host_boundary.

fn conflicts_with(&self) -> &[ModeId]

Modes this one cannot be active alongside.

fn implies(&self) -> &[ModeId]

Minor modes activating this mode also activates. Used by relative-line-numbers-mode ⇒ line-numbers-mode, and by read-only majors ⇒ read-only-mode.

fn presents_extensions(&self) -> &[&'static str]

File extensions (lowercase, no dot) this major PRESENTS rather than edits — the file is never loaded as text.

fn mirrors_option(&self) -> Option<&'static str>

Declarative mirror hint for “this mode is the on/off switch for a typed option of the same observable state”. Some(canonical_name) ⇒ a host-driven cascade keeps the mode’s active state and the option’s value in sync.

fn refresh_action(&self) -> Option<&'static str>

Which of this mode’s own actions refreshes its view, or None (the default) when the mode backs nothing refreshable (RV.1, 2026-08-10).

fn fold_toggle_action(&self) -> Option<&'static str>

Which of this mode’s actions <Tab> fires, and the declaration that pulls in foldable-view-mode — the shared minor owning the chord.

fn refresh_on_open(&self) -> bool

Should re-opening this view re-run its refresh?

fn activation_policy(&self) -> ActivationPolicy

A minor mode’s default auto-activation policy (MA.1; mode-architecture.md §7.4). The host’s minor-activation resolver reads this for every registered minor when a buffer enters a major mode, and activates those whose policy admits the entered major. The default is ActivationPolicy::Manual — auto-activate nowhere until the mode or the user opts in. Ignored for major modes (a buffer’s major is chosen by the major resolver, not this allowlist).

fn editable_tail(&self) -> Option<EditableTail>

The mode’s editable tail on an otherwise read-only buffer, or None (the default) for a fully read-only / fully writable buffer (AU‑3).
