How to make "contextual help" static

I just released a new kernel for Go, and in the process of doing it I became a big user of contextual help (activated with control+I).

One issue I found with it is that it tries to follow the cursor. Usually my use case is: I need documentation about one function/type, and I want it to stay put in the help, while I code around it.

Is there a way to configure JupyterLab only issue a inspect_request message (to fill the contextual help) only when I press control+I, and not when the cursor moves ?

thanks in advance!!
