Description Gregor Mi 2016-09-05 09:35:02 UTC 
In a regular code completion scenario I type the name of the object like

my_object

then I press the dot

my_object.

and then a list of possible methods for the object appears.

It would be nice if one could see the method's documentation while scrolling through the list.
Comment 1 Sven Brauch 2016-09-05 16:47:06 UTC 
You can, just press Alt. :)
Comment 2 Gregor Mi 2016-09-05 18:42:36 UTC 
Pressing the Alt key works when the method name is already written in the code but not within the completion list.

Heh, you're right. I wasn't even aware that this feature needs to be enabled explicitly; I don't really use it. But there you go.
