The behavior to always popup the completion list has been restored for the next version of Xcode, so no need to file a bug :)

How do I make the completion list automatically pop up
when I type some code in Xcode.

In the lastest version of Xcode, you can't. This changed from earlier vesions, but I guess someone decided that it was too invasive. And to be honest, I'd agree with that assessment. But it's a close call and some people still prefer how it used to work.


When entering a new symbol you have to use the keyboard to get the completion list. There is an option for member variables that will automatically pop-up the completion list, but only for members of a class or structure reference.

Given:

    struct { int uvw; int xyz; } abcdefg;

Typing

    abc_

(the _ is your cursor) will not pop-up the completion list.

But if you type

    abcdefg._

... and wait a second, the list will automatically pop up if you have that option enabled. If you start typing the member name before it pops up, it will never (automatically) pop-up.

Getting the old behaviour of automatically popping up in all contexts has been a fequent request. File a bug report to add your vote.
