So in Java, sometimes you can have pretty long/deeply nested type signatures (yes, I'm doing something complicated :P). In @intellijidea.com, when you look at the types using Cmd+hover, why does the tooltip show everything on one super long line? Same question for Cmd+P to show arguments.

If the tooltip is over a certain length, it could instead start to pretty print it and format it over multiple lines, with indentation and line breaks (like real code getting formatted). That would be so good for readability! Am I missing a setting somewhere that does this?

That would be awesome, and I know exactly what you mean :)
