Alt + Right Arrow and Alt + Numpad 6 (if Num Lock is disabled) are also possibilities.

Ctrl+Shift+Space shows you parameter information.

Ctrl + Space

or

Ctrl + J

You can also go to menu Tools → Options → Environment → Keyboard and check what is assigned to these shortcuts. The command name should be Edit.CompleteWord.

If you have arrived at this question because IntelliSense has stopped working properly and you are hoping to force it to show you what you need, then most likely none of these solutions are going to work.

Closing and restarting Visual Studio should fix the problem.
