I currently have installed VS Code as an alternative editor to Jupyterlab for Python Data Science development. Now I am wondering about how to show the docstring or signature of a function?
I didn't found anything about a shortcut oder a needed setting change.

Documentation: Jupyter Notebook can show that documentation of the function you are calling. Press Shift+Tab to view the documentation. This is very helpful as you don't need to open the documentation website every single time.
For the current version of Jupyter notebook, you can hit Shift-Tab to bring up the signature and docstring of the class.
The Jupyter Notebook has two ways to get help.Place the cursor inside the parenthesis of the function, hold down shift , and press tab . Or type a function name with a question mark after it.
If you want to view related information, you could find it in the folder under the module that you need to install in the created virtual environment. For example, using the module ' pandas ', you can find file ' parsers.py ' in ' . venv\Lib\site-packages\pandas\io ', which contains relevant parsed content.
You can change these settings in your settings.json:
// Controls if quick suggestions should show up while typing
"editor.quickSuggestions": {
"other": true,
"comments": false,
"strings": false
},
