Great, that's exactly what I was looking for.

> New feature: Argument hints for method (function) calls
> -------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: NETBEANS-2708
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NETBEANS-2708
> Project: NetBeans
> Issue Type: Wish
> Components: editor - Hints & Annotations
> Reporter: Vladimir Jelovac
> Priority: Minor
> Attachments: idea_parameter_hints.png
>
>
> Often when inspecting a method call which consists of multiple arguments we
> need to go to the definition of that method and find out what that argument
> is about when dealing with badly named variables or direct scalar assignments.
> IntelJ IDEA added few years ago a nice feature called parameter hints which
> solves the above issue:
> [https://www.jetbrains.com/help/idea/viewing-reference-information.html#parameter-hints]
> Basically how it works is that it adds in front of the argument the original
> name of that argument which has been defined in the methods definition. By
> default the hints are shown only for arguments which have direct assignments
> however this is configurable and can be set to show for all arguments. Also
> there is an option to enable disable this using a shortcut key combination.
> Example:
> !idea_parameter_hints.png!
> It would be nice to see such feature implemented in NetBeans as well.
