How can I use shortcut to open the IntelliSense on Visual studio for mac

This is the issue image.
Like I say, how can I to open this one on visual studio for Mac version ?
On windows visual studio, I can use the shortcut keys (ctrl + j), but on the Mac, this doesn't work.
Thanks for your help.
In Visual Studio for Mac the default shortcut to open the intellisense window is Ctrl+Space.
You can change the default shortcuts in Preferences - Environment - Key Bindings. The shortcut is called Complete Word and is available in the Text Editor group.
You can either change the shortcut individually, or you can select Visual Studio (Windows) as the Scheme which will change the shortcuts to match those on Windows.

Codesmith generator 8.0, VS 2019 right click context menu does not have manage output option for .csp files

We upgraded to CodeSmith 8.0 from 5.2. We are using Visual Studio 2019.
I was able to upgrade the codesmith .cst templates. The right click menu on Visual studio 2019 solution explorer doesn't show Manage outputs, generate output or any of codesmith right click options for .csp files
It shows the right click options in windows explorer for .csp files but not for VS 2019.
See the two screenshots. Do I need to do anything special for the options to show up on VS 2019?
Right click menu from Windows explorer. There are code smith options when I right click on the .csp file
Visual Studio 2019
I work at CodeSmith Tools.. Microsoft broke the world with VS2019 and we are currently blocked by VSIX changes in VS2019 where Roslyn bin folder dependencies are not being deployed within the VSIX. This makes testing / development even more difficult. Until a fix is out we can't resume development of VS2019 as we can't even debug it :.

Visual Studio cannot find the EntityModelCodeGenerator custom tool

I'm helping develop a MVC application in Visual Studio 2008 using the Entity Model Framework. I've gotten the code from the source control and I'm wanting to add some new Models from the edmx file. I right click and then click "Custom Tool" but then I get the following error.
Cannot find custom tool 'EntityModelCodeGenerator' on this system.
I have Visual Studio 2008, .NET 3.5 SP1, MVC 1.0.
What am I missing?
Thanks in advance.
You need VS2008 SP1.
In case you are using Visual Studio 2019:
Open the Visual Studio Installer by clicking menu Tools -> Get Tools and Features in Visual Studio
Click the tab Individual components and search for "entity",
Under the header SDKs, libraries, and frameworks you should see Entity Framework 6 tools
Click the checkbox and press the install button
