In some IDEs, Intellij IDEA for example, pressing control + j will display the docstring like this question. How do I get similar functionality for VS code?

Ctrl+K + control+I might work. You can change to your favorite hotkey combination by change setting in Keyboard Shortcuts (Ctrl+K + control+S)
