Is it possible to set mouse-over view of method/class documentation in PHPStorm 3.0?

So if I start typing some method name, I see its autocompletion, but there is no PHP documentation anywhere?

/**
 * Some function.
 *
 * @param $status_code  Status code
 * @param null $message Message
 */
public function error($status_code, $message = NULL) {
    echo $status_code . " - " . $message;
}

  • Have you tried their support site? jetbrains.com/support/phpstorm/index.html . You're better off asking there Commented Apr 22, 2012 at 11:19

I know the title says 3.0, but for anybody looking for this question on PHPStorm 7 you can do this by going to File > Settings, under IDE Settings go to Editor. And then in the right pane, scroll down to the "Other" sub section, and mark Show quick doc on mouse move

It's possible for explicit code completion:

documentation

However, documentation on hover is not supported yet.
