autocomplete [message #43347]

Hello everybody,

I was wondering whether it is possible to have some sort of
autocompletion at the IDL prompt in Linux. When working in Matlab for
example typing the first few letters of a command or file and pressing
'tab' results in automatic completing the rest. (the same way the
xterminal works). Another very useful feature is that when the first few
letters are typed, pressing 'arrow up' results in only history results
that start with these letters. Is it possible to have this implemented
in IDL, or are there any other 'terminal' like command lines that offer
these features in which IDL can be run. At the moment I am running IDL
at the command line under Linux.
I hope someone knows whether this is possible, or that RSINC is working
on something like this. Because in my opinion it would greatly improve IDL.

Cheers maarten.
