167 Pointson windows highlighting getProperties() method and hitting f1 opens up an online help system is this configurable?
If I hit f1 on my installation which is based on windows 7, jdk1.8.0.45, intellij IDEA 14.1.3, it opens up an online help page

instead of the inbuilt help functions on the video. if I hit ctrl-q though I get the inbuilt help. How do you customize this?

- Goto File/Settings
- Select Keymap (second option in left column)
- in search box enter "quick"
- right click "Quick Documentation"
- select "Add Keyboard Shortcut"
- press F1 and accept
note: F1 is default assigned to the Help; there will be a couple pop ups for removing this assignment.
Hope this help. -Phillip
