Codemirror autocomplete doesn't work for javascript

Question

I am trying to make a code editor in JavaScript with Codemirror. I want the autocomplete feature, but it doesn't work. Can someone please tell me what I am doing wrong here.

Here is the code :

var editor = CodeMirror.fromTextArea(myTextarea, {
  lineNumbers: true,
  extraKeys: {
    "Tab": "autocomplete"
  },
  hint: CodeMirror.hint.javascript
});

After a ton of research, like checking their site example and stuff, I finally found a working solution, here is the code:

 var editor = CodeMirror.fromTextArea(myTextarea, {
    lineNumbers: true,
    extraKeys: {"Ctrl-Space": "autocomplete"},
    mode: {name: "javascript", globalVars: true}
  });
