Hi

Question: How to display the mouse hover over tooltip in VS2010 using a keyboard shortcut?

Ctrl Shift Space gives some detail on overloads..

Cheers

Dave

public ActionResult About()
        {
            return View();

        }
A: 

The Ctrl + Shift + Space shortcut shows the exact same information as the tooltip (i.e. the member summary and the first overload). Is there a particular reason that you need to see the tooltip specifically?

Thanks Andrew.. in the code example above when hovering over ActionResult, and pressing Ctrl Shift Space.. nothing happens. However Ctrl-k, Ctrl-i does.

The mouse hover info is called "Quick Info". The default keybinding for it in the C# profile is Ctrl-k, Ctrl-i. It's also the third icon from the left in the "Text Editor" toolbar.
