How can I use auto-complete in Xcode like I can in Visual Studio and Eclipse? Specifically in VS and Eclipse auto-complete displays a list of choices... while Xcode just displays a single choice.
For example Xcode might suggest "myVariable" when I type in "myV". That's fine but what if I have the following objects in the scope of my function: "myInt1" and "myInt2"? Xcode will suggest "myInt1" when I type "myI" but I'd like to have a list. Or it would be great to, say, tab through the various possibilities like in some shells. So typing "myI" would get the suggestions "myInt1" and then pressing tab would change the suggestion to "myInt2".
Cheers!

Go to Xcode > Preferences > Text Editing again. Quit out of Xcode and then relaunch Xcode. Now go to Code completion and check 'Suggest completions while typing'.
Show/hide completions: ⎋ ( Escape ) OR ⌃Space ( Control + Space ) Type some code, use either ⎋ or ⌃Space to toggle auto-complete (I'm hooked on Escape ), and Xcode will offer a few intelligent suggestions to complete your code.
P: property (IIRC Xcode favors L/V for Swift, but you see P for ObjC properties)
Press the escape key when auto-complete makes the first suggestion. This will display the list.

control + space also works in the latest Xcode.
