[Matlab-emacs-discuss] Tab completion

[Jean-François L. <jfl...@gm...>]

Hi,

I'm trying to get tab completion in matlab-shell mode to work, but I'm hitting a wall right now. I'm running everything on Mac OSX 10.6.

1. Using Aquamacs works perfectly. I get the expected completion behavior when I hit <tab> after a half-spelled command on the Matlab prompt within the matlab-shell mode. 

2. However, when I try to do the same in an emacs process launched within Terminal.app, hitting <tab> moves the cursor by a few spaces to the right, and does not display the auto-completion options. In fact, if I type:

imsho<tab> <enter>

then it displays

imshow
??? Error using ==> imshow>preParseInputs at 309
...

which means that hitting <tab> does complete 'imsho' to 'imshow', but it does not actually display it. I've also tried using X11.app and I get the same results. I use emacs on a regular basis but only for simple text editing purposes, so my knowledge of Lisp and .emacs configuration settings is extremely limited... 

Any idea? 

Thanks in advance,
JF

PS: Keep up the awesome work, Eric! I can't wait to get rid of the matlab GUI, especially when I'm working remotely over slow Internet connections ;)
