autocomplete in SQL server management studio

In other IDEs, there are ways (e.g. control + space in netbeans on mac) to ask for suggestions on autocompletion. I was just wondering if there is similar function in SQL server management studio? Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

The IntelliSense will need to be refreshed when you add new objects.

Press

CTRL+SHIFT+R 

to do this.
