I'm just swapping from eclipse to IntelliJ, and I can't find this particular feature.
In Eclipse, when the cursor is inside the brackets of a method-call and I press Ctrl+Space, it tells me which parameters this method takes. Is there something similiar in IDEA?
Use CTRL+P (CMD+P for Mac), it should show something similar.
You may also find the reference card (PDF) handy.
Except CTRL+P (or CMD+P for Mac)
There is new feature in IntelliJ IDEA EAP:
Parameter name hints
Settings > Editor > General > Appearance

I'm using:
IntelliJ IDEA 2016.3 EAP
Build #IU-163.5219.11, built on September 27, 2016
Display the parameter-helper automatically, by adjusting the "Autopopup"-timer in IntelliJ / PhpStorm settings.
Navigate to:
File -> Settings -> Editor -> General -> Code Completion -> Autopopup in (ms)
Set it to whatever you like. Etc. 5 ms.
Ctrl+P if the keybinding is set to "default".
