Ooops, I think I was wrong about the autocompletion problem.  I was just trying something like


octave> libinterp/<TAB>


not


octave> ls libinterp/<TAB>


which does work.  So the fact that directory completion is context dependent was confusing me.  But I think it's fine that it is context dependent.

Closing this report since the original issue seems to be fixed.

Thanks!

I edited the commit message and checked in this changeset here:

http://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/rev/ed8a0c39e14c

Lachlan: It seems like completion of subdirectories doesn't work now, but it also doesn't seem to be related to the last two completion changesets of yours that I committed.  Hmm.

Tab completes global function names, but does not complete the names of local functions currently in scope.

To reproduce this bug, create foo.m containing


function foo
  keyboard
endfunction

function inner_function
endfunction


Type 'foo', and at the prompt type 'inner_f<TAB>'.  Notice that it does not complete, even though inner_function is in scope.

I have a patch, which I'll submit once I get the patch number.
