TestComplete's JavaScript engine, which is powered by the V8 engine (version 5.8), offers IntelliSense capabilities within its Code Editor. 

Limitations with Custom Objects and External Packages:
While IntelliSense works well for built-in TestComplete objects and standard JavaScript features, it may have limitations with custom-defined objects, classes, or external JavaScript packages, requiring manual reference to documentation or other workarounds.

Script Extensions:
TestComplete allows for the creation of script extensions, which can be used to provide IntelliSense for custom objects or functionalities, enhancing the coding experience for specific project needs.

    I should have highlight that it would not work as you would expect in full fledged editor. In the limitation I did mention classes.

    Thanks for your reply! The below example does not work for me. Please try for yourself. Seems it should work with this older syntax.

    const demoClass = {
        Prop1: "Property 1",
        Prop2: "Property 2"
    }

    function Demo(){  
    //1) type the "." to get code completion
    //2) does popup show Prop1 & Prop2?
    demoClass.
    }
