Autocompletion - Ctrl + space

This ensures greater accuracy and saves time by suggesting predicates that you have already defined.

Pressing Ctrl with the space bar will produce a list of suggested predicates from your program. In this small example, there is only one procedure previously defined so there is not a lot of choice.
