IntelliJ IDEA hint parameters of method

Question

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?

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

Except CTRL+P (or CMD+P for Mac)

There is new feature in IntelliJ IDEA EAP:

Parameter name hints

Settings > Editor > General > Appearance

Answer 3

Use CTRL+P (CMD+P for Mac), it should show something similar. You may also find the reference card (PDF) handy.

Answer 4

Ctrl+P if the keybinding is set to "default".

Answer 5

Yes - just press CTRL-P.
