Is there a keyboard shortcut to display tooltips provided by Visual Studio & Resharper when you hover over a bit of code? I'm already aware of Quick Documentation (Ctrl-Q) and Quick Watch (Ctrl-Alt-Q).

A: 

Do you mean Ctrl-K, Ctrl-I ? This is the command Edit.Quickinfo.

(sorry, I am unable to add a comment with the PC I have now) For the single variable, do you mean in debug mode ?

2nd Edit: I think VS names these tooltips 'datatips'. Unfortunately, there is no command to show them, so no possible shortcut.

Yup, that's half of it. How about for the tooltip that inspects a single variable? Similar to Quick Watch but not in the annoying pop-up window.

Yeah, when in debug mode.

Confirmed. DataTips do not have shortcut keys. " For example, DataTips are a feature designed to allow easy debugging access to variables by mousing over variable names in the text editor. While it is possible to access debugging information about variables using other methods accessible using only the keyboard, DataTips do not have keyboard shortcuts."http://download.microsoft.com/download/1/5/c/15c33baa-1cee-431a-a8c0-8d521bda6b9a/Microsoft%20Visual%20Studio%202008%20VPAT.doc
