Eclipse. How to activate tooltip popup using shortcut?

Question

for example we have following method:

...

public void method1(){
    method2();
}
...

method2 can throws exception and Eclipse offer either wrap by try catch or declare throws declaration.

Each time I need pick up the mouse and hover mouse cursor to this row.

Is it possible select wrap or throws without using mouse?

Answer 1

I think that 'F2' is the right key to see the tooltip visible when hoovering mouse over an item in Eclipse editor. It may contain suggestions of fixing if there's a problem with the item being hoovered over. The functionality is called "Show Tooltip Description". Mentioned in other answers shortcut Ctrl+1 shows a "Quick Fix" tooltip which is slightly a different trick than "Show Tooltip Description". I would say that both tooltip provide user with some common functionalities but both offer also their own options.
