The Complete Word option fills in the rest of your function or variable name for you. This can save you from having to repeatedly type long names.

To complete the current word

  1. Type in the first few letters of the name, then press CTRL+SPACE.

    IntelliSense completes the name for you. If what you've typed cannot be disambiguated, the Members list appears, with the nearest matching word highlighted.

  2. Continue typing to narrow the matches.

  3. Press ENTER to select a term from the list.

Note   Pressing CTRL+SPACE on an empty line, or outside of recognizable scope (for instance, just before a function name) opens the Members list populated with globals.
