When one types a defined var, a popup with possible suggestions
appear. (See below)

In this example it proposes  as hint  :
 Add(const AMethod: TMethod; AsLast: boolean);
 Add(const AMethod: TMethod);

Is there a way, mouse combination or keyboard, to get the text to be
pastes, for example :
 Add(const AMethod: TMethod; AsLast: boolean);
as text at the point of editing ?

Click the little icon in the hint, at the far right. (After each
proposed line)

No key combo (yet / I miss that too)

Though, afaik that does paste the names of the params. Which is what
you need to call the function.

It does not paste the full declaration (or I have never seen that / I
have never needed it myself)

Thanks.
I was interested to have the full declaration so as to be able to walk
to the declared types.
Eventually via search in files or Ctrl_Click. Anyway thank you for
answering.
