So this one is very popular and one of the core skills to use in Visual Studio.  Let’s say you are typing and you have this:

clip_image002

 

You can press CTRL + SPACE or ALT + RIGHT ARROW to complete the word like this:

clip_image004

 

This only works if there are no other possible matches that could happen.  If, for example, you had something like this:

clip_image006

 

And pressed CTRL + SPACE or ALT + RIGHT ARROW to complete the word then you would just get Statement Completion:
