Intellisense doesnt work most of the time

I have noticed that in the databricks SQL editor, the intellisense doesnt work most of the time. 
Is there a setting for this to work always. Its very anti productive to go look for table columns manually.

Hello,

I understand how frustrating that can be! Here are a few steps you can take to improve the IntelliSense functionality in the Databricks SQL editor:

Enable Autocomplete:
Navigate to your Settings.
Under Developer -> Experimental features, toggle Databricks Assistant Autocomplete.
Check Permissions:
Ensure you have the necessary permissions to access the metadata. Without metadata read permissions, the schema browser might not show available databases and tables.
Refresh Schema:
Sometimes, refreshing the schema browser can help. Click near the top of the schema browser to refresh the schema.
Browser Extensions:
Disable any browser extensions that might interfere with the editor, such as ad blockers or privacy extensions

Hope this work for you.
Best regards,
