I am trying to display all possible words after putting the cursor in certain place in the code.

The autocomplete list appears when I start writing/typing:

However, I would like to see all suggested words even before typing.

I tried [Cmd] + [Space], however it was a system shortcut for Search in MacOS

Any thoughts?

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.
