New submission from zhou wei <lilaboc...@gmail.com>: When I use rlcompleter in interactive Python mode, I think it will be more convenient if autocomplete produce a real tab when text-to-autocomplete is empty. For example: >>> def test(): ...<TAB> will give: Display all 182 possibilities? (y or n) instead of a real tab
So, when indentation is needed, 4 times of spacebar pressing are required. That's why I think it will make more sense to just return a tab character when there is nothing to autocomplete. This behavior is similar to autocompletion in ipython ---------- components: Library (Lib) files: rlcompleter.diff keywords: patch messages: 99159 nosy: dieresys, facundobatista, georg.brandl, gpolo, lilaboc, pitrou, rnd0110 severity: normal status: open title: rlcompleter add "real tab" when text is empty feature type: feature request versions: Python 2.7 Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file16200/rlcompleter.diff _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue7898> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
