[IPython-dev] [ANN] IPython 3.0.0rc1

[Max Linke]

I actually have a problem seeing the docstring and definition right now. 
By default S-Tab only shows the type, string, and file information. (see 
attached screenshots)
To get to the for me useful key "definition" I have to press the small 
plus key. This is really annoying for me because I used S-Tab before to 
look up the arguments needed for a function.

Is there a way to define which keywords are shown when I press S-TAB?
