symbol info does not popup

[bon-ami]

Information

info on cursor shows in echo line only, not in balloons. (I'm using Plug to load ale.) Thanks in advance.

VIM version

nvim v0.10.1
Build type: Release

Operating System: Windows 10

What went wrong

I've been using ale for years and ale never pops automatically no matter what combinations I set.

Reproducing the bug

1. open a source file, such as flow.go
2. move cursor to a function or a variable
3. the declaration of it shows in echo line only, not a popupwin
4. :ALEHover shows the popupwin

:ALEInfo

I now use following in init.vim to make it work. Is this mandatory?

augroup ale_hover_cursor
  " to show ALEHover message in popup like <Plug>(ale_hover)
  autocmd!
  autocmd CursorHold * ALEHover
augroup END
