Terry J. Reedy added the comment: On windows, one tab brings up the box and in 3.2.3 and 2.7.3 also. Perhaps they should be revised also.
The difference is that in those latter two, <space> dismisses the box whereas in 3.3.0, it does not, making it even more obnoxious. Two more tabs inserts something. Tab within a comment just enters a tab converted to spaces. I think that maybe tabs within strings should always do the same as within comments. Perhaps one way is enough. (I am guessing that other editors use <tab> for this, so I can see the desire to use it.) There needs to be a way to get tabbing within multiline strings. I did not see 'file completion' in Options/Configure/Keys. Is it there under a different name? I was puzzled by the example path d:/Biblioteca/Técnica/informática/Python from #14937 until I retried in 3.2.3. In 3.3.0, a / disables filename completion. I reopened this issue. If one types 'd:\' and there is no d:, <tab> inserts spaces and ^space is ignored. I do not like this kind of inconsistency (or magical behavior shift). If you ask for file names, better to bring up a blank box, or a one-line box [<no matches>]. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue16198> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
