[erlang-questions] shell-questions

[Bernard Duggan]

I did a bunch of reading on and tinkering with rlwrap after the last
time this was raised as a (quite valid) issue.  It looks, sadly, like
the answer at the moment is 'no'.  From memory, it was a limitation of
the readline library and the configuration thereof.  If anyone wants to
correct me, though, I'd be more than happy for them to do so (I'd love
to have tab-completion back) :)
