If you are typing PDL> $a = o<TAB> you get something like this with the Globals completion driver loaded: oct opendir overload::AddrRef overload::constants oddmedian or overload::BEGIN overload::import oddmedover ord overload::Method overload::mycan oddpct orig_badvalue overload::OVERLOAD overload::nil oddpctover orover overload::Overloaded overload::ops one2nd our overload::OverloadedStringify overload::ov_method ones outer overload::StrVal overload::package oneslice over overload::VERSION overload::remove_constant open overload:: overload::constant overload::unimport where I would guess that the most likely desired completion would be: PDL> $a = ones( a list of topics and methods looked up could help rank these completions by interest level. Similarly, if you are in the Perldl2 shell and are using the online docs, it might be nice if this worked PDL> ?sp<TAB> PDL> ?spheres3d >> Another nice completion would be for documentation searches >> which is where a log/feedback of searches in the PDL docs >> would be *very* informative. > > Ok, you want a record of people's searches... I am studying Google > Analytics right now. I don't need to know by person, just the aggregate sequences of searches. Even the sequence of topics would be a useful for this purpose. If we know that this was a common search sequence: xxx -> yyy -> zzz -> tada! That could give us ideas where the docs and completion features could be modified to enhance the PDL experience... --Chris _______________________________________________ Perldl mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.jach.hawaii.edu/mailman/listinfo/perldl
