Is there a way to show hover JavaDoc help using the keyboard?

Eclipse shows JavaDoc help in a tooltip window when I hover with the mouse over a symbol. This is great, but it would be better if I could pop up this tooltip from the keyboard when the cursor is on the symbol. Is there a shortcut which does this?

I found Shift-F2 which opens external JavaDoc and I do not want that. I'd like to pop up the same tooltip with the keyboard which is shown on mouse hover.

Edit: Thanks, that was quick. :) I accepted the quickest answer.

Try pressing only F2 when cursor is on that word. It will open the same popup dialog as you get when you hover on it.
