Sublime how to cycle through the completion?

Question

I found that tab can't cycle through completion like in Vim

then i search for other way of cycling through completion and many says that ctrl+space is available for this

however this doesn't work on me either, so i wonder if sublime has any way to do this

version: Sublime Text 3

many thanks!

If you want to use tab in order to move down in the autocomplete list you only need to create the proper key-binding. You can get the desired info from the down key key-binding. Example:

{
    "keys": ["tab"],
    "command": "move",
    "args": {"by": "lines", "forward": true},
    "context":
        [
            { "key": "auto_complete_visible", "operator": "equal", "operand": true }
        ]
}

Note the context to avoid that tab moves by lines in other contexts.

EDIT: this question contains info about how to enable autocomplete cycle (jump from last to first entry and from first to last).
