In IntelliJ, when a breakpoint suspends an a program.. If I hover over a variable with the mouse cursor and wait for a second or two, a tooltip appears, which lets me inspect the variable by clicking the sign. For example in the below image, I kept my mouse cursor over three for a second or two and the tooltip saying Main$Die@452 appeared.

Is there a way to show this tooltip only by using the keyboard and the current cursor location? In other words, in the screenshot above, how would I see the tooltip for the variable one (where my keyboard cursor is) without moving the mouse cursor over the variable one? (And how would I expand it once I see the tooltip?)

While debugging code, I realized I end up inspecting objects like this very often and moving around the mouse and waiting for the tooltip to appear starts to slow down the process a little.

The action is called "Quick evaluate expression":

You can invoke it via alt ⌘ F8 on macOS, or ctrl alt F8 on Windows
