Right, my original build of postgres did not have tab completion support as I did not have readline (a notice at the end of the configure script would have been nice, maybe a summary of what will and won't be supported?). However, I love the command-line history, so readline was a must ;). > It would be nice if we could distinguish pasted tabs from manually-typed > tabs, but I'm not aware of any way that psql could tell the difference. Can tab completion be disabled without disabling command line history? I noticed -n disables both. I would gladly trade tab completion for tab pastability, but I rely heavily on command line history.
