showing in popup window method implementation in intellij


I'm using Intellij 2016.1 and I was wondering if there's a shortcut to see the method body in a popup window , instead of jumping to source code like Ctrl + Left Mouse Button does .


Solution

  • The feature is called Quick Definition Lookup (Main menu > View > Tool Windows in the keymap settings). The default combination is Ctrl+Shift+I (or +Y for Mac).

    Preferences -> Keymap window

    It appears like

    Preview of the popup

    Any editing actions in the popup window lead to jumping into the file where the code is defined.
