When I enter
a=3
octave says
Display all 3933 possibilities? (y or n)
and eats the rest of the sentence
In matlab:
No completions found.
>> a=3
a =
3
The important thing here is this, maybe I get messages that "No completions
found" but I can
still copy and paste codes from an editor and it will run. While in octave it
won't.
So I am proposing to alter the function of TABTAB.
With this amount of functions in the system, a question like "Display all 3933
possibilites?" make not much sense anyway.
Ideally, when nothing is entered, TABTAB should be taken as \t\t. If something
has already been written then
the original meaning (listing the possible options beginning with the text
already entered) would be perfect.
I don't know if it possible.
Bests,
Lev
