typescript.experimental.expandableHover

Feature request for product/service

Cursor IDE

Describe the request

It’s a while that TypeScript has an experimental option to expand the hover popups on hover on types. It should be available in VSCode but seems not on Cursor.
Ref: Test and iterate on TS expandable hover apis · Issue #232685 · microsoft/vscode · GitHub

Out of curiosity, is there a temporary workaround (or external extension) that achieves similar behaviour?

Also looking for this! Just found out this was added to VSCode. I thought Cursor inherited that under the hood? Guess not?

+1 to add this. Very useful and I’m not finding any extensions.

This feature was added a very long time ago in VScode (June 2025 or before). I would like Cursor to have this.

This is my only issue with this editor.

@sanjeed5 is there at least a workaround to get the pre-ts-5.9 behavior? Right now all type aliases are collapsed, which is quite annoying. (workaround that does not involve changing the types themselves, only the editor settings)
