Using code hints

You can have the debugger shell complete the name of a command as you enter it on the command-line. As you continue typing characters, the debugger shell refines the list of possible commands. For example, you can use this technique as a shortcut to entering help to see a full list of commands.

To use code hints in the debugger shell:

  1. Open the Debugger Shell view.
  2. Type Ctrl + Space .

    Code hints appear. As you enter additional characters, the debugger shell refines the commands that appear in the code hints. Use the arrow keys or the mouse to scroll through the command names that appear in the list. The debugger shell shows additional information for the highlighted command name.

  3. Highlight the name of the command that you want to have the debugger shell complete for you.
  4. Press the Enter key, or double-click the name of the command.

    The remaining characters of the command name appear in the debugger shell.

    Note: Press the Esc key to exit code hints and return to the debugger shell.
