How do I trigger suggestion(s) in VSCode in Catalina?

This tells me that I could use ⌃ + Space combination in order to display suggestions for my code. However, ctrl + Space ( ^ key is ctrl as far as I know) only seems to change the input language keyboard in my system. Nothing else seems to work.

Solution

  • Try Option + Escape on Mac.

    The Mac keyboard shortcut ctrl + space for switching input sources overrides the VS Code one. Because of this, VS Code added a new keybinding just for Mac, Option + Escape.

    This is actually called IntelliSense, and the new keyboard shortcut was added in the November 2019 update.
