"Trigger Suggest" Hotkey?

[ScripterSugar]

Hi. I'm actively using altair graphql for my graphql development, and in general I like it.

One thing that hassles me a little is that, when I'm writing a query and there are nested fields inside a graphql type and I forgot the exact name of a field I'd like to retrieve within it, especially when I forgot which letter is the starting alphabet of that field, I have no option to trigger suggestion without typing the initial letter, so I have to either use fill all fields or search through the documentation.

Using fill all fields feature is a bit overshoot for many cases since my graphql schema is quite complicated and it will write too many unwanted lines of query for me for most of the time

This usecase is very common imo and I use it everyday when I'm using my IDE for coding, and missing it in altair kind disappoints me everytime I realize there's no such feature available in the app (Or maybe I'm just clueless)

I expect this feature isn't too complicated to be implemented, and I'd like to hear how others think about this feature

Oh, I just found out that you can add your own hotkeys to the editor.

Adding showAutocomplete hotkey to my designated shortcut worked like a charm. I'm closing the issue!

FYI: Shorcut settings are case sensitive - you need to bind 'Cmd-I' and 'Cmd-i' separately to trigger the hotkeys.

Glad you figured it out! There is actually a shortcut that comes by default for autocomplete (Ctrl-). Didn't that work for you?

I couldn't (and still can't) find that shortcut from settings > keyboard shortcuts so I had no idea about it 😭

Oh yeah not all shortcuts show up there unfortunately 😅 although we can add shortcuts manually to the list too
