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
