------------------------------------------
Summary: New feature: Argument hints for method (function) calls
Key: NETBEANS-2708
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NETBEANS-2708
Project: NetBeans
Issue Type: Wish
Components: editor - Hints & Annotations
Reporter: Vladimir Jelovac
Attachments: idea_parameter_hints.png
Often when inspecting a method call which consists of multiple arguments we
need to go to the definition of that method and find out what that argument is
about when dealing with badly named variables or direct scalar assignments.
IntelJ IDEA added few years ago a nice feature called parameter hints which
solves the above issue:
[https://www.jetbrains.com/help/idea/viewing-reference-information.html#parameter-hints]
Basically how it works is that it adds in front of the argument the original
name of that argument which has been defined in the methods definition. By
default the hints are shown only for arguments which have direct assignments
however this is configurable and can be set to show for all arguments. Also
there is an option to enable disable this using a shortcut key combination.
Example:

It would be nice to see such feature implemented in NetBeans as well.
