How do I get function signature information?

At a glance

The community member is asking if it is possible to have the same functionality in Marimo as in Jupyter Notebook, where pressing shift+tab on a function provides information about the function signature (parameters and data types) and highlights the parameter being written. They also miss the functionality of ? or ?? in Jupyter Notebook, which allows viewing the help for a function in one cell and calling the function in another cell.

The comments from other community members ask how to get code suggestions (not completions) and how to get function signature information, but there is no explicitly marked answer.

In jupyter notebook, when I press shift+tab on a function, I get info on the function signature i.e., the parameters it takes and the datatypes etc.) and also highlighting the parameter that I am writing at that specific moment. Is it possible to have that with marimo?

Also, somewhat related, I know that marimo intends to keep the file strictly in python but I really miss the functionality of <func>? or <func>?? of jupyter in marimo. Typing help(func) in one cell and calling func from another cell is not so user-friendly.
