Ctrl+p seems to be only showing the popup but doesn't toggle it. There is no action to hide it AFAIK.
I have already set delay of 10 secs for showing parameter info popup. But still it seems idea lacks this feature.
I am using ideavim and Ctrl+[ doesn't hide the popup. I need to press escape twice and again i/a to actually hide the popup.
Is there any shortcut for hiding documentation popup?
I have filled the issue for IdeaVim plugin: VIM-2160. Please vote/follow.

Context:
When a code completion pop-up (Ctrl+Space) appears I often need to have a look at docs for each individual method / constant / etc). The IDE is set to show the Quick Documentation pop-up for a highlighted suggestion automatically after a small delay. Sometimes the documentation is too big and I need to jump to the Quick Documentation pop-up in order to be able to scroll down through it.
Using the mouse I can click on the documentation pop-up and scroll using the mouse wheel. When I'm done reading the documents I can click on the code completion pop-up to explore other suggestions.
My problem is that once the Quick Documentation pop-up is in focus, I haven't found a way to move the focus back to the code completion pop-up without using the mouse.
While I can move focus from the code completion to the quick documentation pop-up by pressing Ctrl+Q, and then use the arrow keys to "scroll" through the documentation, I haven't found a shortcut to return the focus to the code completion pop-up.
What I've tried to far:
Esc closes both pop-ups
Pressing Ctrl+Q a second time opens the docs on a tool window
Any insights on how I can close the Quick Documentation pop-up or move the focus back to the code completion pop-up in such a way that preserves the suggestion that I have previously highlighted?
This seems to be a bug in IntelliJ IDEA . Feel free to add your use-case at https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-168388
Here is a workaround that could be used for the time being:
Open Documentation as a Tool Window:
Add keyboard shortcut to focus documentation window from anywhere:
When the completion popup appears, focus documentation tool window by the shortcut from [2] and scroll it
Press Esc to unfocus documentation tool window and focus completion popup
IntelliJ IDEA / WebStorm:
I frequently manage and tweak my live templates and I'm getting very tired of having to navigate each time to the live templates screen. How can I make a shortcut to instantly jump right to the Live Templates settings screen? Or any other settings screen for that matter? Must I use automation with AutoHotKey or is there a better way?
And yes, I am already familiar with the shortcut key to define a new live template -- that's not what I'm looking for. I simply want to jump to the settings screen in one keystroke.
UPDATE:
Going with Chistoph's suggestion, here is my AutoHotKey snippet in case anybody's interested. It's far from perfect; you might need to adjust the timing values for your system:
#IfWinActive,.* - WebStorm 201
!t::
KeyWait, LAlt
Sleep 600
Send {LShift}{LShift}
Sleep 100
Send Live Templates
Sleep 300
Send {Enter}
return
#IfWinActive ; turns off context sensitivity
As of IntelliJ/WebStorm 2016.2 and earlier, there is no built-in functionality to assign a shortcut to a specific settings screen, but it's fairly trivial to implement that in a third-party plugin.
Note that the Settings dialog remembers the last selected settings page, so if you're working with the same settings page most of the time, you shouldn't need to navigate to it.
One method you can use:
Double press shift in your editor, then click on the gear icon for settings. Turn on Show IDE settings there.
Afterwards you can double press shift and enter Live Templates in the prompt, press Enter and you are in the right settings screen.
In IntelliJ IDEA, an intentions/quickfix popup (with lightbulb icon) will appear when you hover the mouse over applicable lines of code for a second or so (or immediately if you press ALT-Enter). I have most popups like code completion set to display in 50 ms, so waiting a full second for the Quickfix window is maddening. Is there any way to decrease the delay?
I'm hoping for a delay setting, not the keyboard shortcut.
I've dug through the settings in IntelliJ and done plenty of web searches and can't find an answer to this.
Such behavior was not all the time. Previously it was OK, and as far as I remember documentation popup looked like a code completion popup, but now it appears like a panel and traps keyboard focus when it appears. Previously I was able to switch between code completion list elements seeing their documentation. What should I do to get normal behavior back?
Try to invalidate caches: File -> Invalidate Caches / Restart -> Invalidate and Restart
I had to turn this off:
Hide navigation popups on focus loss
The problem was that Pinned Mode was enabled for Documentation panel. Turning off Pinned Mode deals with a problem.
Just like this question here:
IntelliJ: After hiding my "Output" sub-panel within the "Debug" panel, how do I get it back?
I canno get the log/console viewer back in debug mode.
The suggested solution in the given question no longer works the "restore layout" button does nothing, and the "certain spot" on the debug is extremely vague at best.
Is there a way to retrieve the console if it gets vanished (or better yet, just stop that button for vanishing it from even existing)?
I am using IntelliJ 12 Ultimate. If the restore layout didn't work for you either, this should fix the problem:
Open the Debug panel.
Keep mouse on the Debug tab and move it straight right to the Watches icon.
You may see a few more more icons here, and Output may or may not be visible (not visible for me)
If visible, click it and the Output view will be restored.
If not visible, move your mouse slowly to either side of the Watches icon and an empty block would highlight indicating that you are hovering over an icon. There may be several of these. Use tooltip to figure out which is Ouput and click it.
Worked for me, I hope it works for you too.
click the button on the left of Debug View called "restore layout",then the console will go back in the Debug View! 1
Syed explained it pretty well, but a picture could be even better:
A view can be hidden via its context menu, then restored by clicking the corresponding icon (with red circle) to the right.
You can restore the layout using this button as of 2018.1.8
In 2016.2, I had to re-run in debug mode for it to reappear. I could not find a way to un-hide the console in the debug window.
You don't say which version of IntelliJ you're using, but I've just tried this in version 12 and the console window minimises to the far right of the debugger tabs. Look at where it says 'Debugger' and then eyes right until you see one or more icons over the Watches panel. Try clicking on them. If you're not using version 12, then only god can help you :)
In v. 2020.1 there is Layout Settings on the top right corner of Debug window
I've just spent an hour trying to get my console output back, and although this answer didn't solve it, it did help.
I'm on Intellij 11.1 Ultimate Edition, and Restore layout didn't help. Nor did I have any icons above the Watches window in the debugger, but I clicked around above the Watches anyway - and suddenly my console output was restored.
I've tried clicking around there again to see if I can provide more concrete steps, but without success. Can only suggest you keep clicking till it reappears.
