I am using NetBeans for PHP development, and I noticed this unpleasant behavior: First I start typing in a function name that I want to call (| representing the text cursor): file_get_contents| Now I see the PHP Platform documentation just fine. But when I now enter the agruments parenthesis: file_get_contents(| or file_get_contents(|); the documentation closes. If I call it with CTRL+SHIFT+SPACE it comes back for "ibase_blob_get", no matter what functions arguments I'm in. This behavior makes the code documentation pretty much useless as when one needs the information, it's wrong. I know I can get the documentation back by hovering the function while holding CTRL, but that prevents me from typing. To clarify: This behavior obviously occurs when using already declared functions and not when declaring a new function. So my enhancement request is: Display the proper code documentation when the cursor is inside the arguments parenthesis. And make it stay when I type in the "(" after the function name.
CTRL + P shows the expected parameters of the current function/method. In any case, editor area, please evaluate. Thanks.
