Content assist (autocomplete) can be triggered explicitly if you press Ctrl+Space in any code context.

Some of the contexts when content assist is triggered automatically as you type are:

  • when you type a dot (.) for accessing a struct member (field, method etc) as in bfm.do_write()

  • when you type a compare (==) in an expression as in if (mode ==…)
