Question by AndreiMoloch · Nov 20, 2016 at 03:36 PM · unity 5monodevelop

Show method description in tooltip/popup (monodevelop)

How can I display the tooltip/popup or whatever the thing on the right is to show the method documentation. The bare minimum it has locally.

I'm talking about the yellow-ish section here: http://puu.sh/snnA7/0d024d8937.png

Ctrl + ' is a very, very, very slow and dumb way of checking method descriptions.

After I've written a method, I'd like to move my cursor on it and press something like Ctrl + Space for instance and have it display that popup and let me check other methods or at least see the short description for it or SOMETHING !! Anything!! Same goes for field values.

Please tell me there IS a way of doing this. It's driving me crazy !

EDIT: In Visual Studio it's called "QuickInfo"

Hexagonius is right, as you write your line, with the first brace, it will bring up "Quick Info" or "IntelliSense", whatever youd like to call it, and if the function has multiple parameters, by putting a comma, should also bring it back up for the parameter your now working in, inside the function

With that said, by removing and re-adding a comma, or removing the first brace then re-adding it, will do the same thing as bringing it up, and at any time, you can press Ctrl + Spacebar, to bring it up again - this will also auto-complete what your typing if there is only 1 possible option at the time -- for example, if your typing in "tru", not many other things begin with that word, so the only real option, would be "true", that it would auto-complete for you, in that case.
