Is there a way to make REPL or Editor show a signature of a function?

Hi!

Is there a way to make REPL or Editor show a signature of a function I'm currenty entered?

For example, if I entered a:

(capi:contain <cursor>

I want to see all this information somewhere:

 (ELEMENT &REST INTERFACE-ARGS &KEY (SCREEN NIL SCREENP) (PROCESS T PROCESSP) TITLE AS-DIALOG &ALLOW-OTHER-KEYS)

And it will be perfect if it will highlight the current argument I'm entering.

Notice also the Function Arglist Displayer mentioned in the linked documentation: Ctrl+`

Generally: To get an overview of editor bindings type: c-h b

This gets us a textual help window with a list of commands, where we also can search for command names... here I would look for everything with 'arglist' in the name...
