I am trying to switch from Pycharm to Visual Studio 2013 (PTVS), however I cannot find how to change settings for auto-completion popups. For example, in Pycharm whenever you start writing something, it automatically gives you a list of possible keywords, like in screenshots below. If I start to write 'co' pycharm lets me choose 'consecutive' which is an already defined boolean. Is there any way to change these settings in visual studio? I have went through the settings menu like 20 times now, and I am completely stuck.

I found the answer by myself - PTVS doesn't support this feature, however there is a plugin, which can be downloaded here, which supposedly fixes this issue: http://visualstudiogallery.msdn.microsoft.com/644b4359-5eeb-4ba5-9374-78a8507761f0

However, after further inspection, it is broken and doesnt work half as good as pycharm's autocomplete. Most of the time it popups a message saying 'no suggestions' which becomes seriously annoying getting that msg after every single letter. Bottomline - it is broken.

This is now supported with PTVS. Per the completions section found on the GitHub wiki.

Completions can be shown at any time by pressing Ctrl+J or Ctrl+Space, or may be triggered automatically by certain commands (such as import), operators (such as a period/full stop), or by typing at any place where completions are likely to be helpful.
