Hi,

I just started learning Julia on JuliaAcademy and downloaded JuliaPro and nteract like they suggested.

As I’m following along and messing around with the notebooks in nteract, I noticed that tab completion doesn’t work like they say in the notebook.

Now granted, the tutorials are probably out of date, because they mention going to [juliabox.com](http://juliabox.com), which has apparently been discontinued.

I found [this issue](https://github.com/nteract/nteract/issues/3340) though in the nteract github repository, which mentions that nteract uses `Ctrl + Space` for code completion, which didn’t work for me either.

So my question is, what should I know or what am I possibly doing wrong?

Ah, I forgot to mention, it’s not working for any code, not just for the emoji.

See also this (later) [nteract issue](https://github.com/nteract/nteract/pull/4996). Seems to be work in progress.
