How to select other overloads?
This has been bugging me for a while. How do we browse through the list of overloads? When looking at parameter info, it shows the list of overloads, and the most likely candidate is selected, but there does not seem to be a way to select other ones? Clicking with the mouse does nothing, and no combination of Ctrl/Alt/Shift + Arrow Keys will move the selection. Sometimes the one that gets selected almost seems to be random.
(This is important as it displays the documentation for the selected overload, but not the other ones. It would also be nice to be able to choose other parameters since it only shows documentation text for the current parameter, but it makes a little more sense that you only see the parameter based on the commas/index. But I should be able to see the documentation text for the other overloads so that I can choose which one I want to aim for.)
Thanks

Hi Dave Cousineau!
Ctrl+P shortcut allows you to open Parameter Info and to move between parameters in the list at the same time. There is also a feature request to allow Navigating through Parameter info with arrows. Feel free to upvote it.
I hope this helps! Should you have any other questions, let us know.
Hmm, I use Visual Studio keymap, so Ctrl-P for me is Print.
Ctrl-Shift-Space is what I use to show parameter info.
I think I see that there is a “Show Previous Signature” setting that is set to Ctrl-Shift-P for me and that does work to cycle through the overloads.
Tab and Shift-Tab are set to Next and Previous Parameter, but they don't seem to work in this context.
Thanks, as long as I can at least select a different overload, that's the minimum I need.
Oh I also see now that consecutive presses of Ctrl-Shift-Space also cycles through the list as well.
Hi Dave!
You are absolutely right. In VS keymap, the first Ctrl-Shift-Space shows parameter info, and each next allows you to move through the list. Ctrl-Shift-P does the same but in the opposite direction.
