HEAD

Rich problem hover should show additional info for quick fixes. On Ctrl+1, quick fixes show an interesting preview, e.g. 'Add unimplemented methods' lists all the methods that will be added.

I don't have a good solution right now.
Showing it in a tooltip on the link could work, but nested tooltips may become difficult to use (especially if we allow the additional info to be interactive as well).
Showing it besides the problem hover is also difficult, since we would need another gesture to select (but not execute) a quick fix link.

Low prio for me.

I often look at the preview when I try a quick fix I don't use regularly (e.g. something like invert if expression, ...).

A solution could be to turn the quick fix lightbulb in the hover into a Button. Clicking the button would close the hover and open the old quick fix proposal list (like when you click the same lightbulb in the vertical ruler).
