Intellij shows method parameter information when Ctrl+P is pressed. Sometimes this is not enough and I need to see a JavaDoc of such a method. How do I do this? I could press Ctrl+B on methodand then IntelliJ goes to the source of the method. This is a bit too long as I need to press Ctrl+Alt+Left to get back to the place I was before in the editor window.

  • I do not want to use mouse as IntelliJ is keyboard-based. – menteith Oct 25 '22 at 09:47

It's called Quick Documentation.

It can be shown either by

  • hovering over the element of interest (with a configurable delay)

  • pressing a hot key when the caret is on the element of interest (also configurable via the keymap)
