autocomplete in text editors

I saw in the new Amazing Max Stuff video (here) that Max 9 has a new text editor with autocomplete. I'm not seeing it though (using v8). Is there a setting I need to turn on or something?

The experimental Monaco (VS Code) editor is the only editor with auto-completion. This is currently only available on Macintosh and must be enabled in the preferences. Also, as it is web browser based, it will not apply to codeboxes.

Thanks. I had tried that and didn't notice any change. I just needed to close the window and re-open.
