I've recently moved to Leopard and Xcode 3.1.3. I'm editing some C+ + code, but my code completions don't seem to work. I've checked the Preferences pane, and tried setting completions to appear Immediately, or after various Delay settings, but I never get any code completions popping up, no matter what settings I choose.


After typing in an object name and the trailing period, or a pointer name and the trailing arrow, shouldn't a list of completions (member names) pop up?

I've tried using the control-menu at that point, selecting Completion List, and double-clicking on the member I want to select, but doing so inserts a carriage-return before entering the function or member name I want.

Is this broken in 3.1.3? Or is there some setting I'm missing somewhere that will fix this? I really miss having code completion. As it is, I need to go to the header file and copy and paste the member name I need (to avoid misspelling or capitalization errors). Not fun!


After some digging, I found the help pages that explained how to get that list (by pressing Esc[ape]). In Xcode 2.x, the completion list popped up automatically (provided it was set to do so in the Preferences pane). I'm not too happy that change.


What's even worse is that using the Help menu to Search for "code completion" gave me no results. I had to dig into the Apple Xcode Workspace Guide, and navigate down to "Completing Code". Should that be indexed in a Help search? Typing in "completing code" in the Help/ Search field yields no results. Not very helpful, if you ask me!
