Getting info about a Class in IntelliJ IDE by hovering over it

Question

In EClipse if I hold the mouse over a class name I get some hint like the picture below about it:

enter image description here

But with doing the same I don't get that hint box in IntellijIDEA.(Mac edition) Is there a setting somewhere to set this? It is really helpful.

You can press CTRL + Q when hovering above a class name to show a popup with more information.

Thanks, does Mac version have a different shortcut? Command-Q wants to Quit the IDE and control-Q doesn't do anything. – Jul 24 '13 at 18:45

It's possible, I'm working under Linux atm. You can look up or change the shortcut by going to Settings > Keymap and search for Quick Documentation. – xaviert Jul 24 '13 at 19:05
Thanks, the keyword I needed to know was "Quick Documentation" ..atm it is CTRL-J – Jul 24 '13 at 19:24

To know the classname and it's initial declaration within the scope, use Ctrl + J (Mac OS)
