How to show tooltip description in Android Studio?

Key in my Eclipse (ADT linux):

'Name': 'Show Tooltip Description' 'Description': 'Displays information for the current caret location in a focused hover' 'Binding' : 'F2'

Any similar key in Android Studio?

You can use Ctrl + Q to show a quick javadoc of the current caret location.

If you want to hover over

 File > Settings > Editor

and check the box next to "Show quick document when moving the mouse." You can also set a time delay after hovering to make sure that only moving the cursor in the editor does not display javadocs.

EDIT:

According to comments

Alt + Enter can be used for quick fixes in Android Studio, it will give you the ability to reset possible fixes, as in Eclipse.

The strange thing about Android Studio and tips is that Android doesn't call them tips. Instead, "quick documentation on moving the mouse." Oh, my.

In any case, for the Android Studio 2.1.2 IDE installed in Mac OS X, enable tooltips for the tool: - Menu "Android Studio"
- Menu item "Settings ..."
-open "Editor" twirl
-Click on the “General” turn to not be confused with the twist, opening the “General” turnaround (this material is a bad UX design).
- Section "Other"
-third field in the section, which is a flag that says "Show operational documentation on moving the mouse."

Oh, BTW, this option is disabled by default, which is very strange.
