Having switched from MatLab to IDL I miss alot the command line
autocomplete functionality in IDL command history.
Example:
idl> a=5
idl> help,a
idl> print,a
idl> he <up-arrow>
typing 'he' on the command line and pressing the up arrow key should
give me the most recent command starting with 'he', namely 'help,a'
Is there an option/does anyone have a plugin to obtain this functionality?

I have looked in the IDLHELP by
Command Input Line
If you click the right mouse button while positioned over the Command
Input Line, a popup menu appears displaying the command history, with a
maximum buffer of 20 entries.
With this we can select the last command by mouse but this could be
enhanced that it has a preselection.

Reimar:
I think I originally just ran into it by accident. I did find it listed in the
online help under "Using IDL" -> "Running IDL" -> "Input to IDL", or by
searching for "Command Recall".

Carsten:
In the command line (Unix) version of IDL, instead of
idl> he <up-arrow>
Try instead
idl> ^
String To Match: he
