On Mac OSX, to restore the Documentation window to an auto-hide popup, toggle the popup window toolbar to checked state, from the popup windows gear icon, and then click "Restore Popup" icon in the documentation window toolbar.

And unticking Autopopup Documentation will hide it.

Answer 4

Ctrl-Q toggles between doc window states (when using the default keymap).

Possible states are:

-Hidden
-Shown to the side of the auto-complete list
-Docked as one of the tabs

If you have a different keymap, you can search for this action in Settings -> Keymap. The action is called "Quick Doc".

Answer 5

I prefer the quicker solutions...

Press Ctrl + Space and let the "Documentation" window pop-up.

1) Click on the Settings icon and uncheck all the options except "Docked Mode".
2) Now push documentation window to the right, so as to make it invisible.

With this even though with press of "Ctrl + Space", internally command will pass 
to open the Documentation Window but it will not be visible and interfere with the 
workspace.

I hope that helps. Happy Coding...
