Troubleshooting of Navicat for PostgreSQL

pgAdmin 4 on macOS Has No Autocomplete for Field or Table Names

pgAdmin 4 has autocomplete built in by default, but it sometimes needs to be triggered manually or configured first.

How to trigger it In the Query Tool, press `Ctrl / Cmd + Space`. However, on macOS, `Ctrl + Space` is reserved for switching input methods, and `Cmd + Space` opens Spotlight — so the shortcut conflict likely prevents the autocomplete menu from appearing. This menu is what normally shows suggestions for tables, columns, schemas, and keywords.

How to make autocomplete appear as you type

Windows / Linux: Go to File → Preferences → Query Tool → Auto Completion, and make sure "Keywords autocomplete?" is checked.
Mac: Go to pgAdmin 4 → Preferences → Query Tool → Auto Completion, and make sure "Keywords autocomplete?" is checked.
