SAP Web IDE: Javascript Autocomplete/Auto suggest

[Former Member]

Hey experts,

today i edited some code and accidentally hit some random combination of keys. On the right side of the WEB IDE a Panel opened with javascript settings. I was confused as i've never seen that before. I ticked a box with 'autocomplete' (or maybe 'auto suggest') and after that i had dynamic autocomplete in my .js file. It showed autocompletes without pressing Ctrl + Space or using auto hints.

I tried to figure out how i opened it. Searched the web for it an found "auto hints". I ticked that box in the Code Editor Settings (Tools > Preferences > Global Preferences > Code Editor). The dynamic suggestion didnt work anymore. I dont have any clue where to find it again. The setting would help me a lot.

Does someone know that panel and knows the shortcut to it?

Its a beige panel on the right side of the tab. it had like ~20 settings on it, including: Font, Size and auto complete/suggest. Its not listed in the keyboard shortcuts and has more options than the code editor.

Regards

C. Hanisch

PS: I think i pressed some combination of ctrl+shift and maybe an arrow key, as i wanted to mark a whole word in a specific line and confused some keys. IT IS NOT 'AUTO HINTS'.

this is a screenshot i just found, but i still dont know how to open it.

EDIT: I found it after testing its ctrl + ',' in the Web IDE. This Thread can be closed.

That's the Ace editor's default settings menu which can be opened with [Ctrl]+[,] on Windows or [Command]+[,] on macOS: https://github.com/ajaxorg/ace/blob/d2ed4316486e9e47dfa1db6981338b43acd03b8c/src/commands/default_co...
