Ctrl + Space doesn't open autocomplete dropdown in GraphQL

[itsfabijano]

Expected Behavior

Ctrl (^) + Space should open autocomplete dropdown.

Actual Behavior

Ctrl (^) + Space has no effect at all.

Reproduction Steps

1. Create a new GraphQL request
2. Enter a valid api url like https://api.spacex.land/graphql/
3. Start typing a query

query q {
	launchesPast(limit: 10) {
		id

	}
}

4. Put the curser under the id attribute
5. Hit Control + Space

Is there an existing issue for this?

• I have searched the issue tracker for this problem.

@itsfabijano I can also reproduce this in a way in latest 2022.7.5.

I do get autocomplete suggestions while writing:

But seems the auto-complete keyboard shortcut doesn't trigger these same suggestions.
Only seems to work on the query space:

I have this, but it behaves in a weird way for me.

• I write a part of a query and press enter for a new line.
• The cursor gets indented.
• If i press ctrl + space, nothing happens.
• If I only press space, the cursor moves forward one space and I get the complete autocomplete.

A workaround is to add an extra space whenever you want to autocomplete and clean up the query when you are done.

If I write a letter, I also get autocomplete (for that letter, obviously) but if I press ESC (to hide the autocomplete) and then ctrl + space, the autocomplete doesn't reappear.

I have tried to reset the autocomplete keyboard shortcut but that didn't help.

TL;DR: Autocomplete works and is triggered by typing, including a space to get all autocomplete suggestions but the ctrl + space shortcut seems to be broken.

Same here :(

@filfreire It's still happening in the latest stable version latest 2022.7.5 and also in the newest beta 2023.1.0-beta.3.

This is very frustrating.

Also when I write "query", open curly braces and press Enter, instead of a line break, Insomnia autofills the first query name. This is very inconvenient.

As a workaround I'm trying to use Space for the suggestions instead of Ctrl + Space, avoid pressing Enter, and use Ctrl + Shift + I to format the code several times during input. But it's not easy to get used to it and I don't even want to.

For me the only real workaround is to use this version 2022.6.0. All newer versions are difficult to use with GraphQL.

this version 2022.6.0 didnt work for me either. Same behavior, ctrl+space does nothing. even tried some older version 2022.5.1 and none worked as intended.

This is frustrating, feels like a downgrade to me.

Incredibly annoying, I have to run all my queries through a prettifier afterwards because I'm using space to trigger the autocomplete.

Any news here? I would like to update...
