Question

For example, having the following code:

// This is hidden from my eyes
String str = "abc";

// I can see this
System.out.println(str);

i’d like to point to str in the last line and see that it’s type is indeed java.lang.String (not just String). Where can I find this information (I am sure Idea knows it, as it can show the object’s members correctly)?

Hover the mouse over the identifier with the ctrl key held down, and you will see a tooltip containing the full type name.
