Try this, put the cursor on render and then press (CTRL + Q).
If doesn't work you can see the keymaps to do it on View menu -> Quick Documentation.

CTRL-Q worked for me on my Windows 10 PC environment, while F1 and Shift-F1 both did not. Interestingly, though, Shift-F10 works just fine for compiling (if necessary) and running my program.
Thanks!
