Re: [R] Autocompletion
I mostly use R under Linux and Xemacs with the truly wonderful ESS (Emacs Speaks Statistics). It has numerous features, one of which is a pretty comprehensive auto-completion facility. The few times I have used R under Windows, any auto-completion feature that may be there did not fall readily to hand (translate: I poked a few keys and didn't notice anything auto-completing), and I didn't spend any time looking for one. As there are several platforms on which R runs, and a number of interactive interfaces, you may need to be a bit more specific in the framing of your question to get a more informative response.

Re: [R] Autocompletion
From: Óttar Ísberg Hi! That was quick, and thanks. I'm afraid I wasn't precise enough. I'm using Windows XP and by autocompletion I mean typing the first few letters of a command and then have the system either complete the command or give you possible R under Emacs/ESS has autocompletion. I believe JGR also has it. Since you mention Matlab and are using WinXP, JGR is probably closer to what you're expecting. See http://www.rosuda.org/software/JGR/. options, as in MATLAB or, for that matter, UNIX. I guess you meant something like the bash shell, instead of UNIX?

Regarding Windows XP, I do not know. However, on Linux, one presses CTRL+R and R tries to complete the command with a command previously used. Notwithstanding, I am sure that one can use the arrows keys on Windows XP to invoke commands from a list of already used commands. Try both ways.

For autocompletion in ESS, press the TAB key. __ R-help@stat.math.ethz.ch mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
