By autocomplete I mean having something like Intellisense in VS Code by which I can see available functions or members in a particular library?

Yup. Press control space (or command space, on a Mac) and autocomplete suggestions will appear.

If you navigate to Settings... and then uncheck "Automatically trigger code completions":

...you'll then be able to use tab-to-complete like in a conventional Jupyter notebook. From the Keyboard Shortcuts page of the Colaboratory app:

I'm on a macbook pro, Option+ Esc performs autocomplete for me.

Ctrl+Space (works on Mac as well), but I have to run the cell once:

Press Ctrl + space for Mac, as well as for Windows.
Works like magic, see the image below:

On Windows it work the same way as with Ctrl+Space if you press Tab. Not sure about Mac, however.

you can check for what keyboard shortcut works for you in the settings in the keyboard shortcuts inside of the tools tab.
