On the website you mention this:
In BBEdit you can also assign a keyboard shortcut that will "complete" a function for you (so you don't have to go fishing for it with your mouse). The "complete" command is under Clipping (a little "C" in the menu bar) -> Insert Clipping...

By assigning a keyboard shortcut, you never have to remove you hands from the keyboard. For the time-being, it's the closest we'll ever get to the code-completion options found in other code editors (and it's good enough for me).

I can't find this option in BBEdit 8.7.1

I'd LOVE to have code completion like this... the only key I can set is for the "Insert Clipping..." menu and individual functions.

What am I missing here?

To assign a keyboard shortcut:

1. Go to Preferences -> Menus
2. Expand the Clippings menu by clicking the little triangle
3. Click the Insert Clipping... menu item to select it
4. Click the Set Key... button
5. Press a key combination that works for you and click Set (in the dialog) and you're done

If anyone knows of an easier way, feel free to send it along...

Adding these instructions to the web page now.
