JetBrains Fleet 1.42 Help

Code reference information

This section describes how to see definitions of symbols, display documentation references, and use the view parameter information feature.

Parameter info

The popup shows the names of parameters in method and function calls. JetBrains Fleet automatically shows a popup with all available method signatures within 0.5 seconds ( 500 milliseconds) after you type an opening bracket in the editor, or select a method from the suggestion list.

You can explicitly invoke the popup if it has closed or if your IDE is configured not to show the popup automatically. To do so, press ⌘ I (or click Code | Parameter Info).

Inlay hints

Inlay hints are special markers that appear in the editor and provide you with additional information about your code, like the names of the parameters that a called method expects. Other types of hints inform you about annotations, method parameters, usages, and so on (depending on the language).
