<p dir="auto">Is it possible to have something like an OutputInputChannel? I am creating a command that requires terminal input from the user.</p>
<p dir="auto">If necessary, want to share more on the project I'm working on.</p>

<p dir="auto">Source code, documentation, signature, all look almost the same. The following issues make it difficult to read:</p>
<ul dir="auto">
<li>Same background as the underlying text view</li>
<li>Same font and color as source code for documentation and signature, even line heights matches</li>
<li>Difficult to see where does documentations ends and where does the actual signature begins</li>
<li>Signature is incorrectly syntax highlighted: only the const keyword is highlighted, while any or any other type is not</li>
<li>Wraps the signature into multiple lines which makes it more difficult to read, even if I still have a bunch of space horizontally on my screen</li>
<li><strong>+1</strong> Links in the documentation text look like highlighted keywords. First thought was it is a bug: even the text is colorized, then seen that they are links.</li>
</ul>

<ul dir="auto">
<li>Different background and typography, it does not feel like it is embedded into the editor (the other one looks like an area in the editor with a border, there is no depth)</li>
<li>Documentation and signature is separated visually</li>
<li>Signature colorized correctly (keywords, types, identifiers)</li>
<li>Signature is not wrapped into multiple lines</li>
</ul>
<p dir="auto">Steps to Reproduce:</p>
<ol dir="auto">
<li>Hover on anything</li>
