Try

som ctrl space

I must say I'm suprised at the number of developers who don't know this
extremely useful shortcut :-) I must use it, without exaggeration, 200 times
a day when coding.

Plus it eliminates conflicts (and hence possible bugs) between variable
name. When naming a private variable or function parameter there is zero

used to have the underscore and at least some of the private variables in
the framework have it.
