This is how my plugin’s settings look right now.
I’d like to ask about the best way to handle the tooltips/comments. As you can see I currently use a mix of “i” icons that show more info on hover and kotlin ui DSL comments.
Looking at the rest of the settings in Jetbrains IDEs the “questionMark” icons seems more appropriate instead of the “i” icons, but I’ve found that it’s only used very rarely.
Should I move as much of the settings descriptions to the comments instead of having them in the on-hover tooltips?

It would be great to have some guidance here, the closest I’ve found is Kotlin UI DSL Version 2 | IntelliJ Platform Plugin SDK (which you mention you are using), however nothing explicitly says this should be used in the context of tooltips for settings.
I will say though, that is an inherent assumption I have, although I’m open to it being an incorrect assumption (hence my desire for explicit guidance).
I think you’re looking for these guidelines: Tooltip | IntelliJ Platform Plugin SDK
