Function parameters in Eclipse/PyDev

Question

How do I display the function parameters help box when I'm in the middle of typing them? By looking at questions like this one, it seems that I have to hit either Ctrl+SPACE or Ctrl+Shift+SPACE, but neither of these seems to work. The parameters are displayed when I type the (, but then they disappear.

BTW, a related question: It seems that when I'm typing the name of a class the parameters box isn't displayed. I have to type .__init__ after the class name to see the help box. Is this like this or am I missing something?

My PyDev (1.5.1.1258496115) will auto complete the function parameters if I stick the cursor between the parentheses after a function:

my_func( | ) + Ctrl + Space = my_func(param1, param2)
