Eclipse shows JavaDoc help in a tooltip window when I hover with the mouse over a symbol. This is great, but it would be better if I could pop up this tooltip from the keyboard when the cursor is on the symbol. Is there a shortcut which does this?
I found Shift–F2 which opens external JavaDoc and I do not want that. I’d like to pop up the same tooltip with the keyboard which is shown on mouse hover.
Edit: Thanks, that was quick. 🙂 I accepted the quickest answer.
Try pressing only F2 when cursor is on that word. It will open the same popup dialog as you get when you hover on it.
