Shortcut to popup function/method parameter help in Visual Studio

I recommend

Visual Studio tip: if your cursor is located between the parenthesis in a C# function/method you can use use Ctrl + Shift + Space Bar to bring up the function parameter help popup. 

I created a short video to demonstrate how the shortcut works:

I hope this tip helps!

Is there a way to display longer description of the help popup that appears when the cursor is placed on the method name? Longer explanation: When the "Code Definition Window" is visible and I highlight a method call in the code editor, the corresponding method definition is displayed on the "Code Definition Window". Now, if I place the pointer on the method in that window, a longer description (containing comments that include parameters, remarks,...) is displayed. I want to view those comments in the popup that appear when I highlight a method call in editor. Is this possible in Visual Studio 2010?

I'm not aware of a way to change what information is displayed in that popup. I'm sorry I can't be more helpful :-(
