Is it possible to use tab autocompletion in matlab? #29

jorgesca commented 5 years ago

I noticed that tab autocompletion works if I launch matlab with "matlab -nodesktop -nosplash" in a terminal, but it doesn't when launched from neovim or directly from the supplied script. Is there a specific reason for that, can it be enabled? In case it matters, this is in Linux

Very late response, but just in case you still have this issue, make sure you have the pexpect module:

  1. Install pexpect for improved interactivity with the MATLAB console (e.g. tab completion): pip3 install pexpect
