Hello,

I am very new to Lazarus. I'm just looking for an alternative to VB (I
only do basic programming just for fun). One of the features of VB was
the Intellisense which is autocomplete. You start typing something and
you get a list of the possible commands, options, etc. depending on
the context. It found it very useful, just wanted to know if Lazarus
had something like that.

Thanks

OK, I found it, it's Control + Space.

AFAIK there should be somewhere an option to set the delay time for
it's displaying. Mostly you don't need Ctrl + Space, it appears after
someseconds, but you can adjust that to appear instantly.

Hi cdahmedeh, Lazarus if very powerful more than what you think.

On the menu goto 'Environment' > 'Options' > 'Editor' > 'Key Mapping'
> 'CodeTools Commands'.

There you can see many hidden but useful features to be try, like
CodeTemplateCompletion, WordComplete, ShowCodeContext.

Lazarus is great!
