AutoComplete not working, either with keyboard or with menu - autocomplete

Just getting started with C++Builder. Watching a tutorial, my installation's AutoComplete doesn't seem to be working properly. I can't find any option to fix it.
When I hit Ctrl+Space, nothing happens, anywhere (in the tutorial, it works in several places).
I've even used the menu selection for the same feature ("View -> Editor -> Complete Code") but nothing happens.
Any idea how to turn this feature on?
Using "Embarcadero® C++Builder 10.4 Version 27.0.40680.4203"

VSCode editor opens a search panel when I try to write code

Something has happened to the settings (I think) so that whenever I try to type into the editor a search panel opens when the 5th character is typed, so I can't actually write any code. I have tried disabling various extensions, to no avail, and anyway, I haven't actually installed any new ones today. I have altered a few keyboard shortcuts, but don't know how to reset everything to default. I may have to uninstall the entire app and reinstall it, but would like to avoid this if possible
This is what happens when I get to typing the t of print

How to enable again the tooltip/hint in VSC?

My VSC shows the wavy underlines when something's wrong with my code, but does not display the hint overlay when I hover my mouse on it.
This happens whatever the language used (from CSS to Typescript) and whatever the type of irregularity (e.g. notice, warn, danger)
I'd say that's a setting I may have changed at some point, but can't find which one. Any idea?
More details:
I do have the message displayed in the Problems tab besides to the Terminal, but it forces me to switch from tab to tab ;
I do have other overlays like autocomplete/autosuggest ;
No extensions in my setup could have led to that situation (only a few installed, widely downloaded, nothing fancy or dodgy).
Actual behavior (nothing happens):
Expected behavior (from google images)
Go to File > Preferences > Settings.
Search for 'hover.enabled' (See below photo).
Toggle it.
If your editor still does not pick up the change, close all tabs, close all VSCode windows, and reopen it.
If it's still not working, try uninstalling VSCode and reinstalling it (make sure you don't have setting sync on).
Also, this question has been answered in at least one other place (Disable tooltip hint in Visual Studio Code)

VSCode Shortcut Ctrl+Shift+e renders as unknown instead of navigating to explorer window

I am trying to navigate to the explorer window via Ctrl+Shift+e but this sequence of keystrokes is not recognizable by VSCode 1.55.2.
I checked this two ways. First, via trying to check what Ctrl+Shift+w and Ctrl+Shift+e were binded to via keyboard shortcuts (Ctrlk, Ctrls) and then recording the keystrokes to reveal what they were binded to.
You will observe that ctrl+shift+w is recognized. Then, in the gif, when I press ctrl+shift+e it renders as ctrl+shift+unknown.
Then, whenever in a saved open file in the editor, when I press ctrl+shift+e hoping that the explorer navigator opens up on the left, that does not happen. Instead the file becomes unsaved with an underscore e appearing in the file.
This is completely new and strange behavior of the editor. I did not encounter this before.
Any help is appreciated.
Edited to add update: VSCode folks indicate that this is a known issue. Ctrl+shift+e translates into insertion of an emoji, it seems. See their comment here.
Same thing happened to me, using linux (ubuntu).
I installed it from the snap store, and tried reinstalling from there and the problem was still there.
Uninstalled and installed it manually from de .deb package at their webpage and it was solved.
Maybe it's an issue they have solved in the latest version (1.15.8) but it's still unsolved in the snap version (1.15.2 in your case, i didn't pay attention on what was my version).
Same problem. Installing vscode from .tar.gz - works perfectly fine, installing from snap leads to unexpected behaviour on Ctrl+Shift+E

Eclipse freezes on suggestion popup

I am having a problem in Eclipse where it freezes whenever I add a period (to try to bring up the content assist popup with possible methods). I can move the mouse, but the blinking text cursor disappears, I can't switch tabs or save, and I need to use a task manager to close Eclipse. This happens with all Java projects/files.
I have never had a problem like this with Eclipse before, and can't tell what started it. After doing several Google searches, all I found was this bug. However, I don't see a solution and am running Windows 7, not Linux. Also, I have never heard of Xulrunner. Does anybody have a solution or explanation? Is it an Eclipse setting, or a problem with my computer?
Error Log: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/101364250/eclipse_freeze.log
When I watched the error view, it seemed to output "Unhandled event loop exception" a lot.
For now, I have disabled the content assist, which seems to fix the problem.
However, this feature is very helpful, so any answers are appreciated!
Try opening Preferences and tick "Suspend all validators".
Try disable the hovers feature:
eclipse menu: Wndow > Preference

Eclipse Syntax Coloring Not Showing Correctly

I have a bit of a problem with Eclipse. I haven't had any issues with this until now, so I'm willing to be it's some broken settings somewhere. What happened is I moved form Sublime Text 2 to Eclipse. (I REALLY wanted to stay, but couldn't.) I attempted to import the Sublime Text 2 theme into Eclipse, and it seemed to work. But I can make any changes to the settings for Javascript now.
I go to Preferences -> Javascript -> Syntax Coloring and put in all of the colors I want. It works just fine. I close Eclipse and open it and they're all gone. I go back to the preferences and the colors are still there, they're just not showing up. I change one color and it shows up. Close, reopen, repeat. I don't know what's wrong, but I just want the colors I put in to stay. What could possibly be causing this?
EDIT: Completely forgot. Running the latest version of Eclipse (20120614-1722) on Windows 7. I started with Eclipse for Java Developers and installed the Web Page Editor plugin.
