documentation for isset, list, array() right from the IDE

For documentation i have configured CTRL + Q it works for php built-in method except for list, isset, array(),etc I know they aren't exactly methods but it would be useful to have documentation popup for them, as someone could not remember them in detail and gets pushed to look in the internet to know just what isset is. As me that usually work with Java and don't have php keywords very fresh. What do you think?

Hi Jaime,

There is no "standard" way to provide such quick documentation for them since they are language constructs and not functions (by "standard" I mean the way how it's done for all other function/classes etc). Therefore some additional approach needs to be used (different implementation) -- http://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/WI-3232.

What you can do right now: create some External Tools entry (and assign shortcut to it) that will execute search for the selected keyword/function in online php manual -- it's not ideal but definitely faster than doing such search manually.
