For example, to configure the values for a BC547 transistor you would put `Transistor_BJT:BC547` in the part's KiCad symbol field to give it the right schematic symbol in Eeschema and `Package_TO_SOT_THT:TO-92` to give it the right footprint in Pcbnew.
If you type in a character, you will get an autocomplete list of all symbols and footprints available in the KiCad standard library. You can also input your own value.
+If you want to keep custom suggestions across updates, open the server settings page and use the "Autocomplete settings" page. There you can edit `public/kicad/footprints_custom.txt` and `public/kicad/symbols_custom.txt` and enable the "Use custom autocomplete lists" option to use those files instead of the autogenerated defaults.
