How do I show a tooltips by pressing the keyboard

How do I show a tooltips by pressing the keyboard shortcuts?

[eranif]

Which tooltip?

For example:

If you type something like this:

Code: Select all

wxString str;
str.Append(

codelite will show the "Calltip" for the method Append of class wxString. If you dismissed this tooltip (e.g. by clicking the ESC button) you can make it re-appear by hitting Ctrl-Shift+SPACE

When under the mouse pointer

Ah, this tip

Well it is auto-activated when the mouse is over a variable (assuming the tip is enabled from 'settings -> tags settings -> display typeinfo tooltip')

But my question is: why do u need keyboard to make it show? what is the problem that you are trying to solve?

BTW: which version of codelite are you using? (the screen shot shows a bug in the tip which was fixed)

Also, if you are a fan of code-completion tips, you might want to use the trunk version of codelite, as it contains the latest addition in the code-completion:
"CC help tip"

Here is a screen shot to shows what I mean:

what a bug?

If you will pay close attention, you will see that the return value in the tip contains the scope twice:

Code: Select all

void wxAutoComboBox:: wxAutoComboBox::GetQuery(IBPP::Database db, IBPP::Transaction tr, const wxString& sql);

while it should be:

Code: Select all

void wxAutoComboBox::GetQuery(IBPP::Database db, IBPP::Transaction tr, const wxString& sql);
