Content Assist (Autocomplete)

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 ==

Proposals are presented in a list for you to choose from. Moving through proposals you can quickly see the related documentation.

Press Enter or Click to select a proposal or Esc to cancel the assist.

Sometimes autocomplete has many proposals that are split in several categories:

1. . the first one is for things you can access in a scope (wires, regs, functions, tasks etc. depending on the enclosing scope)

2. . the second one is for code templates

3. . the third one is for other things, like module instances

If you press Ctrl+Space the first time, you’ll see a small indication in the proposals pop-up window at the bottom, something like “Press Ctrl+Space again to see template proposals”.

Pressing Ctrl+Space cycles through the categories above.
