How to complete function parameters automatically ?

[Cpowa]

Hello,

I want to do like in this "video at 13:56":http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fmSs2mNGh9I#t=13m56s
Which keyboard shortcut does he use ?

Thank you.

I don't think that's a keyboard shortcut, it's just "intellisense" - you get a list of options as you type, choose one of them and press enter.

How I choose one ?
I can change them with the arrow key but when I press enter it just skip a line in my document.

Works for me with arrow keys and then enter. Using Qt Creator 2.2.0 on Windows.

Also, the list of options can be made to appear using Ctrl+space.

Qt Creator 2.2.1 on windows.
It just skip a line...
There is an option to activate ?

Edit: ctrl+space is useful for a class name or function. But do not work for the parameters of a function. (watch the video, it's just a yellow popup)

There are some options under Text Editor / Completion, but I'm pretty sure I haven't changed any of those.

[Cpowa]

Yeah I've tried to play with those option without result.
Edit: actually on the video it's a blue pop-up on my screen it's yellow.

[ludde]

Then I really have no idea what's happening, sorry...

[Cpowa]

Just to be sure we are talking about the same thing look at this "screen":http://img705.imageshack.us/img705/3894/imagerh.png

This is not the same thing. The yellow popups shows the parameters expected by the function.

Typing Enter won't do anything except inserting a new line.

However, when you're in a class header and start overriding a method (let's say paint, as in the video you linked), then creator will show a blue popup and typing Enter will automatically complete the method signature.

Ok thanks I thought it was the same pop-up !

If you think about it, there is no way for Qt Creator to add anything useful for you in that situation. What you normally put there are a number of variable names or constants, but Qt Creator cannot possibly know which ones.
