hover the mouse over the highlighted function name and you get a tip popup showing the functions prototype. Personally I prefer this to environments where the popup happens automatically - the popup would be a distraction for the functions I use really frequently and never need reminding about their parameters but I'll use the tip to remind myself of the correct parameter order for those I use infrequently. Perhaps this should be a selectable behaviour - Theres already a hook to spot when a function name is typed and highlight it, possibly leverage that and have function tip popups in the editor be on-hover, on-highlight or off?
