Table of Contents
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 as in input_video.content
when you type a compare (==) in an expression as in constraint resolution ==...)
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 2) the second one is for code templates
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.
