Does NetBeans have automatic code-completion for C++?

Question

Does NetBeans facilitate code-completion for C++? If yes then what are the shortcuts to use it?

Solution

Yes, it does.

You'll need C++ version of NetBeans or you'll need to download the C/C++ plug-in from plug-ins menu.

I can't remember all shortcuts since I haven't used in some time, but CTRL+SPACE is the one I used used the most.

Once you start typing code, you'll get menus under each keyword you start typing. Arrows and CRTL+SPACE are used to select available options.

I have installed C++ plugin for NetBeans. but CTRL+SPACE doe something else in Ubuntu. Do you think that there even exists auto-completion feature for C++

I have used it on Solaris, so I know it is there for sure. I could have misremembered CTRL+SPACE. I'll boot Ubuntu and try it out now.

I was hoping, that maybe Netbeans will autocomplete automatically after i type first few letters, something that is standard in for example Code Blocks, but no -_-
