Scrolling the rust-analyzer info popup in vim

Any ideas on how to scroll the info popup in rust-analyzer? The popup comes up but I can't figure out how to scroll down.

When I'm typing out a rust library based method, the popup comes up with method definition. Sometimes there is a lot of info and the need to scroll. However, I am unable to figure out how to scroll inside the popup.

Which LSP client implementation are you using?

Here is the bottom of my vimrc:

Plug 'prabirshrestha/vim-lsp'

Plug 'rust-lang/rust.vim'

" Initialize plugin system
call plug#end()


if executable('rust-analyzer')
  au User lsp_setup call lsp#register_server({
        \   'name': 'Rust Language Server',
        \   'cmd': {server_info->['rust-analyzer']},
        \   'whitelist': ['rust'],
        \ })
endif

$ which rust-analyzer
/home/j/.local/bin/rust-analyzer

I was reluctant to install coc.nvim as it appeared to be geared to neovim.

Should I just try installing neovim. I've never used it but it seems to be easier and more friendly when dealing with larger infrastructures like rust and rust-analyzer.

Also I'm on Archlnux (ArcoLinux) and use a tmux/vim setup.

UPDATE:
I'm also open to other lsp clients that might be better suited to my needs

My setup involves the following lsp-related plugins:

Plug 'neovim/nvim-lspconfig'
Plug 'hrsh7th/nvim-cmp'
Plug 'hrsh7th/cmp-nvim-lsp'
Plug 'saadparwaiz1/cmp_luasnip'
Plug 'L3MON4D3/LuaSnip'
Plug 'ervandew/supertab'

I then have the following Lua code at the bottom of my config file:

lua << EOF
local nvim_lsp = require('lspconfig')

-- Add additional capabilities supported by nvim-cmp
local capabilities = vim.lsp.protocol.make_client_capabilities()
capabilities = require('cmp_nvim_lsp').update_capabilities(capabilities)

  local function buf_set_option(...) vim.api.nvim_buf_set_option(bufnr, ...) end

  -- Enable completion triggered by <c-x><c-o>
  buf_set_option('omnifunc', 'v:lua.vim.lsp.omnifunc')

Have you tried pressing tab repeatedly to select the next item in the popup list?

@cole-miller no that doesn't work. That causes the parenthesis:
fn method()
to open tab spaces amount:
fn method(________)

@alice, I have yet to try your method. I have been looking into NeoVim and it actually looks pretty nice.

The suggested config in the README includes C-f and C-d bindings for scrolling:

    inoremap <buffer> <expr><c-f> lsp#scroll(+4)
    inoremap <buffer> <expr><c-d> lsp#scroll(-4)

and this issue suggests changing inoremap to nnoremap if it doesn't work.

Yes! That works!

After adding the configuration, I didn't have to change to nnoremap.

Thanks @mbrubeck
