[java] IntelliJ show JavaDocs tooltip on mouse over

The answer is CTRL + P (NOT CTRL + Q)

Someone else posted this answer on JetBrains forum: The idea is a different IDE. Try to discover its features and try to make the best of it, rather than trying to emulate whatever you used before. For the most part, Idea has very high usability (much better than Eclipse IMHO) and is streamlined for supporting code editing as best as possible (rather than relying on wizards too much for example).

  • Javadoc: Ctrl-Q
  • A quick view of the implementation: Ctrl-Shift-I
  • Show context: Alt-Q
  • Show parameters (in a method call): Ctrl-P
  • Show error description. Ctrl-F1

... plus many more shortcuts to navigate in code and different idea views.

I think it rather nice that you can see just the specific bit of information you are interested in with a simple keystroke. Have a look at the menus which will also show the possibly modified shortcuts for your keymap.

Also very useful is the "Goto Action" feature, invoked by Ctrl-Shift-A. In the popup, you can enter a keyword (e.g. "Javadoc"), and the IDE tells you the available actions matching your search, along with keyboard shortcuts and the containing action groups (which often also give you a clue about how to navigate to the action using the menu).
