Question

I ve recently switched to IPython Notebook 3  3 1 0-cbccb68 to be exact   the Anaconda version  Previously when I typed a function and opened a parenthesis like this   time sleep     and if the cursor was between the parentheses then I would get a contextual overlay menu that displayed the function arguments  Now I don t see it  and although I ve searched  I can t find out how I can turn on this functionality

In 1 0  the functionality was bound to   and tab and shift-tab  in 2 0 tab was deprecated but still functional in some unambiguous cases completing or inspecting were competing in many cases  Recommendation was to always use shift-Tab    was also added as deprecated as confusing in Haskell-like syntax to also push people toward Shift-Tab as it works in more cases  in 3 0 the deprecated bindings have been remove in favor of the official  present for 18  month now Shift-Tab   So press Shift-Tab

Try Shift-Tab-Tab a bigger documentation appears  than with Shift-Tab  It s the same but you can scroll down   Shift-Tab-Tab-Tab and the tooltip will linger for 10 seconds while you type   Shift-Tab-Tab-Tab-Tab and the docstring appears in the pager  small part at the bottom of the window  and stays there
