IMO the old behavior should remain the default, because it's much more secure; the "$" operator does automatching of shortened element names (like with shortened function arguments), which can produce unexpected results. for instance: x <- list(yz=2) x[["y"]] returns NULL, whereas x$y still returns 2. i ran into this issue in one of my packages once and it was hell to find out what went wrong and why... > For the moment this is in the > script editor, only, but I do plan to do the same for the console, > after your feedback. Any other settings that would make sense to you? personally, i'd generally prefer slot(x, "y") over x@y in my code. > Should the completion in the console be changed to use the same pop-up > as in the script editor? In addition to / as a replacement for the > text-based tab-completion behavior? you mean for object names, not for tab completion in general, right? i'd find that helpful, because the current tab completion of object names has it's limits when there are several objects with similar names. i'm often unable to get it to complete to the next unambiguous character, it then simply repeats all available options, and it spoils the console history. what i'd find even more exciting is if tab completion would become possible for function arguments as well. there's currently only code hinting, but you still have to type all yourself, which for long options like "stringsAsFactors" is kind of annoying. if formals(data.frame) would be triggered by a tab inside data.frame(), couldn't autocompletion be offered here as well? viele grüße :: m.eik -- dipl. psych. meik michalke institut f"ur experimentelle psychologie abt. f"ur diagnostik und differentielle psychologie heinrich-heine-universit"at d-40204 d"usseldorf
