Is there a way to view parameter information in the PyCharm console?

Question

When editing a file in PyCharm, once you've typed a class/method/function name and an opening bracket, a pop-up appears with the parameter information. You can press Ctrl+P to make it appear if it doesn't automatically.

However, this doesn't happen when working in a PyCharm Python Console; the parameter information doesn't appear automatically and Ctrl+P doesn't make it appear.

Is there a way to make this happen or a setting to turn it on? Or is it a limitation of the Python console?

Other references:

• The official documentation for viewing reference information doesn't mention the console or discuss limitations between it and the main editor: https://www.jetbrains.com/help/pycharm/viewing-reference-information.html

• This question is related: How do I get PyCharm to show method signatures and documentation in the Python/IPython console and the editor? , but the answers only apply to the PyCharm editor (and possibly the IPython console).

To be clear: I am asking about the "normal" console, not the IPython console.

I could well imagine it's a limitation of the Python console, except what's puzzling is that the console can do basic code completion with Ctrl+Space, which shows classes/methods/functions that are available in the namespace, including showing a preview of methods/function signatures:
