A "context window" in Eclipse? [message #756238]

Hello,

I'm migrating from source Insight to Eclipse.

Source Insight has a very good feature: Context window

Here is a sample:
ATTACHED IMAGE

As you can see Context window is the window in bottom of this image.

When i pur cursor on a function, it is displayed on the bottom of the screen. In eclipse i can do this putting mouse on function, but if i'm writing nothing appears.

Is it possible to have a similar feature even in eclipse?

Thank you very much

as far as i know: no!

As an alternative to the mouse, you could press F3.

But the mouse hover works very well.

Also F2 - "Show Tooltip Description" shows the same popup window.

But it doesn't work that well, because there is no navigation from code in the popup. This popup also shows macro expansions and navigation from this expanded code will be rather usefull.
