VisualCode Shortcut to display autocomplete list before typing in MacOS

In case that you are a CJK user using Mac, Ctrl + Space will not work, since it is used to switch IMEs. There is another keyboard shortcut for triggering suggestions: Option + Esc or Alt + Esc if you are using a Windows keyboard.

Also see post here.

VS code version: 1.41.1

I solved this problem using fn + control + space. Hope it helps you

"change input source" keyboard shortcut should be disabled

To disable it->

• Go to system preferences -> keyboard -> input sources
• add a new input source (choose ABC)
• Go to shortcuts tab (inside of keyboard settings)
• Click on input sources on the left
• disable the "select previous input source" shortcut

restart your vs code and now ctrl+space will show quick suggestions.
