[Tex/LaTex] Suggestions for commands in TeXworks

Is there any auto-completion or suggestion available for commands in TeXworks?
I am a beginner.

From the TeXworks site, referring to Using code completion:

TeXworks comes with an expandable set of code templates that can easily be inserted into a (La)TeX document. To insert a code template, type the first few characters of the pattern name and press <Tab>. The code template best matching the characters you typed will be inserted and highlighted. If there are multiple code templates starting with the characters you typed press <Tab> to cycle through the possibilities.

Some code templates include bullet characters . These act as placeholders where text should be inserted. Use <Ctrl>+<Tab> and <Shift>+<Ctrl>+<Tab> (<Alt>+<Tab> and <Alt>+<Shift>+<Tab> on Mac) to navigate between those placeholders.

For example, if you type \begin{min and press <Tab>, TeXworks will produce

\begin{minipage}{}
•
\end{minipage}•

You can navigate between the placeholders (the black dots) as described above. Try typing \te and keep pressing <Tab> to see a list of several possibilities suggested.

You can also customize code completion; follow the link I provided and go down to the section Customizing code completion.
