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

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

The action name is Parameter info (within method call arguments) (this is useful for searching it in Preferences > keymap). – Jadeite

@Arvidaa You can search in keymap by keystroke as well (magnifying glass with 3 blocks icon). – Nadeau

Answer 2

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

Parameter name hints

Settings > Editor > General > Appearance

Answer 4

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.
