How can I see function arguments in IPython Notebook Server 3?

Question

I recently switched to IPython Notebook 3 (3.1.0-cbccb68), the version of Anaconda. Previously, when I introduced a function and opened the parenthesis as follows:

time.sleep() 

and if the cursor was between parentheses, I would get an overlay context menu that displays the arguments to the function. Now I do not see this, and although I searched, I cannot find out how I can enable this function.

Answer 1

In 1.0, functionality was tied to ( both tab and shift-tab , in 2.0 tab was deprecated, but still functional in some unambiguous cases where completion or verification competed in many cases. The recommendation was to always use shift-tab . ( also added as deprecated as confusing in Haskell-type syntax to also push people to the Shift-Tab, since it works in more cases. In 3.0, deprecated bindings were removed in favor of the official shift-tab , present at 18+ months.

So press shift-tab .
