I've attached a patch which adds all class constructor and class method names to the list of names (make_name_list() in help.cc) used in tab autocompletion. The patch is based on HG changeset 22865:89756f2f085b. I'd be grateful if one of the Octave maintainers could have a look at the patch (apologies in advance if I'm missed some requirement for submitting Octave patches).

+1 to adding both class constructor and methods to tab completion

tab completion of readline recognizes m-file scripts from the path as valid function names, but no @class from the path.

The class constructor can probably easily be added to the autocompletion list of readline.

Class methods could also be added to the list, but these are only useful when an object of the class is used on them.
