[Matlab-emacs-discuss] Patch for matlab.el regarding command completion in MATLAB shell

[David E. <de...@ra...>]

Attached to this mail is a patch for matlab.el which improves command
completion in the MATLAB shell. In the current CVS version of matlab.el,
comint filename completion is done when the cursor is in an imcomplete
string. This is nice for commands like 'addpath', but is wrong for
completing things like

set(gca,'Cam <TAB>

After applying the attached patch, the above completion should work as
expected. It also works for completing commands and variable names
inside commands like "plot(...)" and others.  Additionally, it includes
a small change in 'matlab-shell-completion-list', which disables
scrolling in the shell buffer when retrieving the completions.

The patch should be applied against the current CVS version of
matlab.el.

Regards,
David
