This feature is called Call tips in the Scintilla control. To quote:

Call tips are small windows displaying the arguments to a function and are displayed after the user has typed the name of the function. They normally display characters using the font facename, size and character set defined by STYLE_DEFAULT. You can choose to use STYLE_CALLTIP to define the facename, size, foreground and background colours and character set with SCI_CALLTIPUSESTYLE. This also enables support for Tab characters. There is some interaction between call tips and autocompletion lists in that showing a call tip cancels any active autocompletion list, and vice versa.

So this looks like a big task to undertake.

Yes, that would be great! This will certainly increase usability by reducing ambiguity and guiding users.

@cengizu I agree it would be a nice feature to implement. Maybe one day!
