Transcript

Manually Triggering Autocomplete

Type a few letters and press Ctrl + Space. A list of proposals pops up. The list shrinks as you type. Use the up and down arrows, then press Enter to insert a proposal.

Automatic Autocomplete Trigger

Autocomplete also triggers automatically, for example when you type a dot after an interface. Only variables defined inside the interface are proposed.

Context-Sensitive Autocomplete

Autocomplete is context-sensitive. Only valid proposals in the current scope are suggested.

Autocomplete for All Constructs

Autocomplete works for all constructs. For example, type a backtick and select a macro.

Using CamelCase Autocomplete

Typing long descriptive names is cumbersome. Use CamelCase Autocomplete to speed up typing.
