Code completion not supplying variable names

[Tom F 83]

I can't get Code Completion to work.  It pops up suggestions when I type a period after an object name. 

But, when I type a standalone variable name, I want it to offer a list of matching variables. 

For example, in an empty project, when I type "Vari" below, I want it to automatically suggest VariableName.  Or must I always hit CTRL-Space for that list?

 

procedure TForm1.FormShow(Sender: TObject);
var VariableName: integer;
begin
   Vari
end;

 

Is there some configuration option I've missed enabling?

 

This is in D11 with Update 1. My configuration:

The really fine manual states this behavior as being as expected.

Thanks, Sherlock.  I thought I recalled an auto-invoke that would make suggestions without my having to press a special key (or type .)

I guess I was mistaken.

Perhaps GExperts can do that trick... I'm not sure though.

No, it can't.

At present, only CnPack can do this.

...bevore LSP yes. With SLP (D11) not so good. Sometimes Ok, sometimes fail...😕

 

PS: i am a fan of this code completion 😉 ...but so not. 🙄

This is probably not the problem of CnPack.

I have studied the source code of CnPack. It just passes keyboard parameters to Delphi and intercepts Delphi's automatic code completion list.

I seriously doubt that this is the problem of Delphi itself.
