• Actual Behavior: Tooltips do not show at all for commands such as :PREP_PROCESS, PREP_PROCESS_REPORT, PREP_PROCESS_AGENTGROUP, PREP_PROCESS_FILE, MOVE_OBJECT, and MODIFY_OBJECT.
• Expected Behavior: A tooltip should appear showing parameter information when typing these commands.
• Note: The issue is inconsistent as some commands, such as :SET, still display tooltips correctly.
