Description:
Lazarus revision 16874, FPC 2.2.2, Mac OS X 10.5.4
Summary
There is no menu item for the "Complete Identifier" functionality. I first noticed that it existed in Environment -> Edit Options -> Code Tools, but didn't see how to activate it on demand. Then I went to Environment -> CodeTools Options (it should always be written either as "Code Tools" or "CodeTools"), where there again are some options about Identifier Completion in the last tab, but nothing about how to activate it.
I went to the key mappings, but couldn't find it there either. I finally searched the wiki using google and found that it was ctrl-space. Then I did a "Find key combination" in the the key mappings dialog box, searched for ctrl-space and noticed that I apparently overlooked the "CodeTools commands" section earlier on.
Expected behaviour
apart from from basic cursor navigation and text selection commands (skip word, page up, select current line etc), all functionality should be available somehow via a menu so that people can easily find it by going through all menu items (and you can search all menu items of an application using full text search under the Help menu on Mac OS X 10.5 and later).
