In the code window you can use the following keys to access properties, methods and constants.

CTRL + 1 - Displays a list of properties
CTRL + 2 - Displays a list of methods
CTRL + 3 - displays a list of contants.
CTRL + 4 - list of local variables and parameters
CTRL + 5 - display the method's parameters.

See Chapter 2 of the User Guide for more details

If you want to see properties, press Ctrl+1

If you want to see methods, press Ctrl+2

If you want to see class constants, press Ctrl+3

You don't need to type the . character to use these accelerators, and if you don't type the . character when you select an option from the popup combo it will add the . character automatically.

Additional useful shortcuts in the editor:

Press Ctrl+4 to get parameters and local variables for the current method - you'll need to have compiled after adding the parameters/variables before they'll show with a Ctrl+4.

Press Ctrl+5 anwhere within the parentheses for a method call to get a method signature popup.

Cheers,
