[Eric] eric4 4.1.5 (r2207) Auto completion (? )question from newbie

In IDLE,   I enter 
>>> h="Hello World!"
>>> h.

After I type the "h" and the period (as shown above), shortly thereafter
I am gratified to see a helpful drop down list with all the string
methods (capitalize, center, count, etc).  As a beginner working my way
through Learning Python,  I would like to enable that helpful
functionality in ERIC.   

I have auto completion turned on and have tried auto complete set to
"document and api". (that is Edit=>AutoComplete->Alt+Shift+Space) but no
helpful list box appears in response to my  entry of "h period" entered
in the ERIC center window editor.

Besides RTFM, which I have done,  is this functionality available from
the editor window within ERIC?  If so, how do I turn it on?

Thank you,

Larry
