View function description in eclim

I know if you do the autocompletion you can view the description of the function you are selecting...

Is there any way to view the description in the same way but without autocompleting, just selecting the function over the cursor position?

That preview window is populated by Eclim (using Eclipse) on the fly during completion but Eclim doesn't provide any user-level command to get that info outside of the context of completion.

In order to show the signature of the function under the cursor:

  • <C-w>} opens the tag under your cursor in the preview window
  • :ptag foo tag foo in the preview window

This feature depend on the availability of a tags file.

See :help preview-window and :help tag-preview for some related commands.
