Please see more explanation of Auto-completion under the Editor section of this manual.
Invoke Codecompletion -- Code-completion is one of the tools that is common to most development tools. Using a few keystrokes to start the name of the function call, a hot-key can be pressed (ctrl-space by default) that will bring up a listbox positioned underneath the cursor which shows the current matches to the list of known functions. Please see more explanation of Code-completion under the Editor section of this manual.
