Description Robert Jonsson 2003-08-18 19:18:35 UTC 
Version:           3.0.0a5 (using KDE 3.1.3)
Installed from:    Mandrake Linux Cooker i586 - Cooker
Compiler:          gcc version 3.3.1 (Mandrake Linux 9.2 3.3.1-0.7mdk)
OS:          Linux (i686) release 2.4.21-0.13mdk

When typed in a function/method name that the parser recognizes one can get a popup with the desired arguments, which is very nice.
This popup does however disappear (a bit to easily) as soon as you touch the arrow keys (it can be fooled though, by using ctrl+arrow, but then the hinting is off). 

What would be useful is a keyboard shortcut that enables the popup, anywhere you are on the line. As it is right now, it's only possible to bring up when you are at the position right after the first brace.

are you talking about the popup-menu which you can get by ALT-Space or the 
popup-hint that tells you which parameter a function expects?

Well, I believe it is ctrl-space on my system..

However, it was the parameters a function expects that I was referring to.

Fixed. Arrows work fine.
