Re: [Matlab-emacs-discuss] Tab completion

[Jean-Francois L. <jfl...@gm...>]

Hi Eric,

Thanks a lot for your prompt answer!

I tried pressing C-l after writing 'imsho<tab>' in matlab-shell, and
nothing happens.

However, when I tried 'M-x matlab-shell-tab', then the auto-completion
works as expected. It just seems like the 'tab' key isn't working
properly?

Maybe updating emacs will fix that, if it is indeed a bug in its
terminal version. I'll try that.

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...
