Description
Prerequisites
- I have written a descriptive issue title.
- I have searched all issues to ensure it has not already been reported.
Summary
Similar to how the completion tooltip for commands include a summary of the command, it would be nice if the parameters also included the parameter help. So for ls -Path the tooltip would show:
[string[]]
Specifies a path to one or more locations. Wildcards are accepted. The default location is the current directory (`.`).
