Intellij 13 Auto doc pop up on mouseover solution doesn't work anymore

3.5k Views Asked by hylander0 At 16 November 2025 at 03:05

I have been using this solution for IntelliJ 12 for auto popup quick documentation on mouse over.

But the new version of IntelliJ 13 does not do anything when you set the auto.show.quick.doc=true in the idea.properties file.

Any Ideas to get this to work for version JetBrains IntelliJ 13?

For ItelliJ IDEA 13 the setting auto.show.quick.doc=true property in the idea.properties appears to now reside in the preferences.

Go to the ItelliJ IDEA Menu -> Preferences -> Editor -> scroll down to the Other section and Check Show quick doc on mouse move

IntelliJ Preferences

Now you have mouse over Quick Doc functionality working again for ItelliJ IDEA 13:
