Yes it does. You can complete all the words which are already in the file. To do so, type the first few letters and press Ctrl+Space:

@Tim Hoffmann is right, you can use Ctrl+Space to get the words "which are already in the file", but not any word you want. How about any word in a dictionary? I have tried to put a dictionary into the user completion *.cwl file (in C:\Users\<YourName>\AppData\Roaming\texstudio\completion\user) but I have to put a backslash in front of every word. So every time when I type backslash I can get something like that (see the figure below). it's not perfect, you don't want an extra backslash in front of your word. But that's what I can figure out for now. [![enter image description here](https://

How to change this shortcut? "Tab" as shortcut would be better.

Yes it does. You can even select certain packages for which you want to the autocomplete functionality. See Options>Configure Texstudio>Completion.

I think it offers autocomplete feature for commands only. I actually want auto complete feature for normal text.
