Comment (by scmancuso):
The patch I uploaded has some bugs. I was working on fixing them, but as I
was working with it, I just found that there were far too many completions
to cycle through in most cases. For example,
{{{
sage: Fie<tab>
AlgebraicField ResidueField
AlgebraicRealField UniversalCyclotomicField
...
RealIntervalField is_pAdicField
RealLazyField pAdicField
sage: AlgebraicField
}}}
gives sixty possible completions, and, most annoyingly, automatically
fills in with the first one (!AlgebraicField), requiring that you tab-
cycle through them to find the one you want. Obviously this is
unacceptable. If we enable tab-cycling, then I think we should go back to
the way I first implemented it, where the traditional completions are used
if there are any, and the new completions are used only if there were no
traditional completions.
The other option is to not have any tab-cycling, and then we could show
all completions (traditional and new), or the way I originally implemented
it.
