Quick documentation behaviour
Answered
I have 2 questions related to quick documentation because I am trying to not use my mouse in IntelliJ.
- After I press the quick documentation shortcut for the first time it works as expected, after I press it the second time it pins the quick documentation at the right side of the editor and any press after that doesn't seem to do anything. Can I make quick documentation to just close after I press the shortcut again? Basically the way it would work if I pressed escape after I press the quick documentation shortcut one time.
- Is it possible to make quick documentation auto popup if my caret is on the method/class name? Basically the same behaviour if I had my mouse cursor hovering the method/class name.

"Autopopup documentation" doesn't exist.
And the other is not clear at all
1. As far as I understand, you don't want Documentation tool window to be opened on the second press of F1.
Unfortunately, this is not possible. A quick documentation popup is not a “real” action; it's a trigger for showing the documentation tool window. By default, this tool window is displayed as “preview popup”, but you can omit that by clicking ⋮ on the Documentation tool window
There is no setting "Show documentation tool window instead of the popup.
2. Unfortunately, the answer is negative. More information can be found at IJPL-31764.
