In PyDev, when cursor hovers function name, tooltip with docstring text appears.
Is there way to assign a hotkey on this event, for viewing docstrings using only keyboard?
As far as I know, there is no direct keyboard shortcut for this when working with PyDev. For JDT, CDT or PDT F2 should work, but it does not in PyDev.
However, as an alternative, you can hit CTRL+SPACE which brings up the content assist, which will show the documentation right next to it.
Btw: the hover tooltip does not show the docstring only, but the whole content of a method.
Here is how the content assist should look like:

When using the Atom text editor, when I hover my mouse over a function signature, a tool-tip appears (see image below):
How can I disable it?
Thank you, happy to supply more info as needed.
Assuming you're using Ide Python package, you can disable Jedi Hover option in it's settings.
I have a custom shelf in Maya with buttons built using the 'shelfButton' command. I would like to include short descriptions of what the button does when the mouse cursor hovers over the button. I have tried a couple of the available flags, like 'annotation,' but so far I have not gotten anything useful.
shelfButton command inside Maya has no flag for the desired behavior. Any string passed with the annotation flag will be displayed on Maya's native help box (At the buttom of the Maya UI). If you really want the behavior you may have to look into Qt.
I'd like to get automatic context help in VS2017, similar to what is displayed inside spyder, when I click on an object that has help for it in the python manuals.
I's this possible?

You can hover your mouse over an object or method to see a tooltip of it.
You can also use the dot operator(.) to bring up intellisense for a list of properties and methods. If intellisense doesn't immediately pop up after pressing the . key, you can also press ctrl+space to force it open.
Lastly, you can press F12 with your cursor in an object, method or variable to go to its definition.
PyCharm displays little bars on the scroll bar for things like code warnings. This feature is called "inspection".
If you move the mouse cursor over a bar, it shows a preview of the code annotated with the inspection.
I find this really fiddly, and I'd actually like full inspection notices to be displayed all the time in the normal editor, just like it appears in the small preview.
Is there any way I can achieve this?
Using the default keymap, you can use F2 to jump to the next highlighted error and then Ctrl+F1 to show the tooltip.
According to this PyCharm's documentation there seems to be an Inspection Tool Window which displays inspection results on separate tabs..
You can access the tool window through menu Code | Inspect Code.
I just tried it and it showed a tab like this:
Press Alt+6
Or, click "Problems" on the bottom-left
Or click the error icons at the top-right of the text editor.
This gives a list of problems for the file open in the currently active tab. It automatically updates when you change tabs:
There is command In the AutoHotKey that shows tooltip with some message on the top of the screen. I want to do it on python.
In more details I need to make an application, that will work in background, always tracking a keyboard. On the specific hotkey it should show on the top of the screen a message without grabbing focus from other application. And it should remove this message after some conditions (e.g. mouse moving). It should work with full screen apps too.
I couldn't find how to do it on python, or what libraries should I use. Need your help.
Global tooltips are created via WINAPI CreateWindowEx with TOOLTIPS_CLASS for window class. There are some examples which you can adapt. See also the Autohotkey implementation.
Shell tray tooltips are created via Shell_NotifyIcon.
A working example: wontoncc/balloontip.py and the Autohotkey implementation.
