Keyboard Shortcut to show documentation in VS code?

Like in Jupyter notebook shift+tab is the shortcut to show documentation and Tab key for suggestions (.ipynb). Similarly in VS code what is the shortcut if I am using it for Python? In VS code, while using .JS suggestions are coming as I type but for .py its not showing any suggestions.

The pylance extension uses Pyright, a static type checking tool. Moreover it empowers "IntelliSense" experience of writing Pythong code in VS Code.

You should then be able to use the default binding ctrl+space for code completion. To see docstrings, just hover on the object you want information on.

Looks like you need to install an extension for python for autocomplete to work. Try this link to install the required extension and get access to IntelliSense.

Then ctrl + space should bring up intellisense.
