Aptana function definition popups
I noticed that in Aptana 2.0 above 1.5.1, when when you enter a php function, you no longer get a popup with the function description and its parameters.
Does anyone know how to get this to work again? As I relied on this pretty much to remember what parameters went there. Open in PHP Manual
the shortcut Shift+F2
doesn't work either, so all I can do is open my browser and keep php.net open all the time.
Are these features functional? I know I Open delcaration
never worked annoyingly, but I had the popup feature in 1.5.1.

I am using this AutoHotKey script to get PHP manual in new browser tab for selected text in any program:
;Windows+p for Google I'm feeling lucky "php + selected text"
#p::
oCB := ClipboardAll ; old Clipboard
Sendinput, ^c
GoogleSearch:= "http://www.google.com/search?ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&sourceid=navclient&gfns=1&q=php+" Clipboard
ClipBoard := oCB ; restore ClipBoard
Run, %GoogleSearch%
return
Not perfect, but you will soon receive a PHP manual.

First go to Window -> Open Perspective -> Other
and check that you are in the PHP perspective and not in the Aptana Web. I'm not sure if this is necessary, but it shouldn't hurt to try it.
Second, try right clicking on the PHP file in the Aptana navigator / project explorer and navigating to Open With -> (Other ->) -> PHP Editor
. This will open it up with PDT instead of the Aptana web editor (which dropped PHP support).
