Fix Python – How to get autocomplete in jupyter notebook without using tab?

Question

I would like to get an autocompletion feature in notebooks i.e. when I type something, a dropdown menu appears, with all the possible things I might type, without having to press the tab button. Is there such a thing?

I tried :

%config IPCompleter.greedy=True

but this requires the tab button to be pressed

Now we will see solution for issue: How to get autocomplete in jupyter notebook without using tab?

Answer

There is an extension called Hinterland for jupyter, which automatically displays the drop down menu when typing. There are also some other useful extensions.

In order to install extensions, you can follow the guide on this github repo. To easily activate extensions, you may want to use the extensions configurator.
