I generally find it more productive to think for myself that to have a program try to do it for me and keep breaking my concentration by second-guessing what I'm trying to do and jumping in to mess with what I'm typing. Perhaps the feature should be limited to a context were it could actually be a filename but that would probably be complicated and unreliable. My approach would be to bin it. BTW if you want to align multi-line plot commands like that I put all the plotted files including the first on the extended lines by assigning a throw-away variable just after plot. That makes all the lines have identical syntax and I can cut and paste to reorder or remove them at will. plot s=0 \ , file1 with lines \ , file2 with lines \ , file3 using 1:2 \ #, file4 tit "test version" \ that would work around your tab problem. This a valid bug though. regards. |
