What is visual assist and what is "Linux IDE"? Please be more specific about what you are looking for.

For Visual Studio, there is an addon called Visual Assist (aimed for aiding in C++ development). That's what came to mind, but the question is a bit bizarre even in that context...

Visual Assist Webpage (link) (http://www.wholetomato.com/)
Sorry, but because this addon covers a wide range of enhancements, the best I can do (without essentially retyping out the product's feature list) is to link to it.

I have never used visual studio, so my look at this might be deeply flawed.

What it seems to be is an enhancement for the visual visual studio IDE. Pop up windows, selectors and word completion. It seems to display the defined contents of functions when you make use of the headers.

It would be very specific to microsoft, as the visual programming languages are.

Well, both Eclipse and Netbeans do similar things for many languages...

Most of the big (Eclipse/Netbeans) have this already built-in. Some smaller ones (geany) share some features and even for others (gedit) there exist add-ons for similar functionality.
