Can I view method / function documents in NetBeans (Python plugin)?

I just started testing NetBeans 6.5 with Python support. I like that the IDE provides the docstring documentation for the function / method in a popup when it is autocompleted, but is there any other way to view the docstrings, either by using the name of the function / method, or by clicking somewhere? I just can't find a way to do this. The best I can do is "Go to Source" in the right-click menu. If you know the trick (or you can point out the obvious thing that I am missing), I would really appreciate it!

I received the following response from Tor Norbye at Sun:

Hold down the ctrl (or Cmd on Mac) key, and then hover over.

In addition, Ctrl-Shift-Space (for example, code completion + shift) will display -just- the completion document (which means that it does not just look at the carriage prefix, but the whole identifier and type of the left side, if it can solve it, calculate one specific match, not many).

You can also use this keyboard shortcut on a Mac. Shift + Meta + Backslash
