Hi,

@Adrian, we don't embed a system terminal on Linux (under the Console pane) because our terminal is very simple and Linux users (usually) know how to use it very well. That was a decision taken a long time ago :-)

@Shawn, I think our terminal doesn't do code completion. As I said, it just comes in handy to run simple commands but not much more than that :-)


Cheers,
Carlos

Hi Adrian,

Thanks again for your response, but I do think that we are talking
about different things. I am talking about IN SPYDER. Is it a
different behavior between Windows and Linux? In Windows, Tools -->
Open command prompt will open a command console IN SPYDER, in where
the Python console is (a new tab, just like a second Python console).
You can use ctrl + shift + c to switch into this console.

To repeat:

0) Use Windows 7 64 bit, and install Python + spyderlib;
1) Open Spyder;
2) Go to Tools --> Open command prompt;
3) A command window will be launched in Spyder console panel (adding a
new panel to the right of exisiting Python consoles);
4) Set focus to the console being opened. You can see that
auto-complete does not work in here.

On Linux I have Open a terminal which opens an independent terminal window for a system shell. There is no option for a command prompt. I do not have access to a Windows machine so I have no way of testing what you are seeing. That will have to wait for someone else on this list that uses Spyder with Windows.

I am still not sure what you are using the command console for, is it a system console or a Python console? The reason I ask is that the keyboard shortcut you give, on my machine, takes you to a Python console. If it is a Python console have you gone to Preferences --> Console --> Introspection and checked Automatic code completion?


And, of course, if I just open a cmd in Windows, the auto-complete
will work. It is only IN SPYDER that it won't work.

Thanks again for your patience in reading through Adrian... Appreciate it :)

Shawn
