I migrated from TextMate about a week ago and I’ve been loving Sublime Text 2 so far. However there is one thing that I miss, its a simple documention tooltip which shows the documentation of the current highlighted function or the function where my cursor is. This tooltip is available in the PHP bundle.

Does anyone knows how I can do that in Sublime Text 2?
Sublime Text 2 doesn’t currently support this kind of tooltips, but it’s on the list. I spoke with Jon about it a couple months ago. Hopefully we get these kind of tooltips soon, as some plugins really could use them

yes, this would be great, i’m voting right now
+1googol for this, it is really needed and would be great to be used in SublimeCodeIntel.
This feature is SO needed! It’s almost a deal breaker for me, not having it. SublimeCodeIntel would be so much more powerful with it.
Any news on this??
It’s really really missing!!
Would be great, by the way,if this is implemented in a way so that other languages can easily be added through an extended sublime-completion file or something like that…
Just in case you have missed it, with SublimeCodeIntel you can have this, though it would only show up in the status bar (press super+j). Of course this is not the same as a tooltip but you can get by with it.
thanks. I never really got it to work. Jumping to definitions always shows ‘Can’t find …’ and super+j doesn’t do anything.
In any case, tooltips would be much better. It would already be great if the current autocompletion popup could show the arguments of a function in grey.
.sublime-completions file do not seem to support a difference between ‘displayed name in auto-completion list’ and actual completions. It would also allow trigger-based completions to be more useful because they could have a trigger, content, and something like label part so that the user actually sees what is going to be inserted. In this example
{ “trigger”: “a”, “contents”: “<a href=”$1">$0" }
the autocompletion is just going to show ‘a’ but it would be great to see in great what is actually inserted. A separate label field that is displayed in grey would make so much possible… 
This new package provides something similar to a tooltip or at least access to the documentation with a single keystroke: SublimePeek - quick access to help for functions

I second this question.[/quote]
Yes, please! I think it’s THE missing feature!!
Just here to cast my vote (already did over UserEcho):
+1
This is definitively a much needed feature.
I am really really waiting for this feature, its the super cool thing lacking in Sublime Text.
