Re: [Matlab-emacs-discuss] Tab-completion (auto-complete) in matlab-mode, not in M-shell

[Norberto D. <nor...@gm...>]

Hi Eric,

Thanks for your quick reply. I guess what you mean is that there is no
"matlab-sources" that can be added to ac-sources so as I can get
aoutocomplete suggestions in matlab-mode, right?

I am looking for competitions in matlab-mode. I would like to get the same
behavior of M-shell in matlab-mode. When I type "ff" and I hit TAB twice in
M-shell I get a competition list suggestion with "fft fft2 etc". However,
when I type "ff" and hit TAB while editing an .m file in matlab-mode, I
don't get any suggestion. Is there anyway to get competition suggestions in
matlab-mode when editing an .m file or this feature is not implemented?

A way around would be to use autocomplete. Is there any matlab-source to be
added to ac-sources to get autocompletition or this is what you say nobody
has written a backend for this?

Using the right emacs terms is a little bit hard since I am a beginner :)

Thanks a lot!

Nor
