Description

I use languageserver in neovim with the cmp-nvim and cmp-nvim-lsp-signature-help plugins. The latter provides autocompletion for lsp signature help, but it appears to look for signature-help when the cursor is on the opening bracket: https://github.com/hrsh7th/cmp-nvim-lsp-signature-help/issues/9#issuecomment-1283035745

Is it possible for language server to begin providing signature help on the opening bracket of a function?

Research direction

The issue names no file or test. Start by locating the language server's signature-help handling and trigger logic, then compare behavior when the cursor is on an opening bracket. Done means signature help is provided at that position and the behavior works with the reported Neovim integration.
