And at least while developing, I find it useful to put new-lines after 
{
. If you have type hints turned on, IntelliJ will draw the types. Then quickly apply 
join line
when I’m done. Only expand lines I want to know type for.

You can use IDE intention to specify the type of the lambda parameter (defaulting to 
it
) explicitly.

@Matej Kormuth perhaps it is not on Windows/Linux (whatever you are using) on MacOS it is right below 
Parameter Info

For me it’s “Expression Type”

that's interesting that there is that variation cross-platform imo

Although I’m not sure if it’s the same thing because you mentioned “(i.e., this)” and Expression Type can’t be used for implicit 
this
(but it can for explicit 
this
)

this
I was just referring to the image

Parameter info is actually not that useful in some cases

@Matej Drobnič it appeared to be for me. Why don't you think so?

For example on 
emptyList<Int>().map { it * 20 }
code snippet
it just displays 
transform (T) -> R
which is pretty much useless (I want to know WHAT exact type are T and R here)

it does not do this for me

oh wait read you wrong
yeah 
Parameter Info
is not very helpful

Matej Drobnič

05/15/2019, 7:19 AM
ah I see
you were using expression info

Andrew Gazelka

05/15/2019, 7:19 AM
mhm
well 
Type Info

Matej Drobnič

05/15/2019, 7:19 AM
Type Info
right
wait
Type Info now shows up for me in the menu 😄
I have no idea what is going on

Andrew Gazelka

05/15/2019, 7:20 AM
hmm weird
did you update IntelliJ?
m

Matej Drobnič

05/15/2019, 7:20 AM
maybe my IntelliJ installation is broken somehow (I have checked in IntelliJ previously, now I'm testing in Android Studio)

Andrew Gazelka

05/15/2019, 7:21 AM
btw you on Linux or Windows
out of curiousity

Matej Drobnič

05/15/2019, 7:21 AM
