Re: [Bug-apl] MacAplAlt.keylayout

[Peter Teeson]

Well well well… I learned something new just now in experimenting….

I ran Debian in VBox and fired up each of the 3 Terminal apps they offer.
I every case typing 
aTABTAB 
gave a list of commands beginning with a. 
Ditto for bTABTAB- a list of commands beginning with b

Then I fired up OpenBSD in VBox .. same behaviour in the console.

Finally in Mac fired up Terminal and voila same behaviour!!!!!

So I guess it’s a feature of the shell….

Which begs the question of what it ought to do in APL interactive mode….
Map it to )Commands? 

I’ll leave that for wiser folks to discuss.

respect….
