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.
