Visual Studio Code shortcut to display autocomplete list before typing

I am trying to display all possible words after putting the cursor in certain place in the code.

The autocomplete (suggestions) list appears when I start writing/typing:

However, I would like to see all suggested words even before typing.

I tried command + space, however it was a system shortcut for Search in macOS:

Any thoughts?

Solution

  • In case you are a CJK user using Mac, Ctrl+Space will not work, since it is used to switch IMEs.

    There is another keyboard shortcut for triggering suggestions:

    • Option+Esc (Mac)
    • Alt+Esc (Windows)
