Shortcut for getting a python function doc string in VSCode

Question

When I use browser to open Jupyter notebooks, I can use Shift + Tab shortcut to get a python function doc string; however, in VSCode, that shortcut does not work. Does anyone know which shortcut gives me the docstring there?

I found this but cannot understand the suggested solution (what is Ctrl + K Ctrl + I ?)

that is the keybinding for that command Control-K followed by Control-I — rioV8, Nov 18 '20 at 16:33
if you are using a mac it is command k then command I (cmd+k cmd+i) — Paul Brennan, Nov 18 '20 at 18:46

When using VSCode in Windows, the default shortcut key for displaying the python function docstring is "ctrl+k ctrl+i". When using it, please place the mouse on the area of the python module or method that needs to be viewed (front or middle or back All works):

In addition, please check whether other shortcut keys of "editor.action.showHover" have been set in "keybindings.json".
