Hi there! I may be guilty of not doing my homework, but still, I've searched. I'm a relative newcomer to R (my forte is at present MATLAB, but for various reasons I'm trying to get literate in R). My question is: Is there an autocompletion feature buried somewhere in R? All the best Óttar [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

I mostly use R under Linux and Xemacs with the truly wonderful ESS (Emacs Speaks Statistics). It has numerous features, one of which is a pretty comprehensive auto-completion facility. The few times I have used R under Windows, any auto-completion feature that may be there did not fall readily to hand (translate: I poked a few keys and didn't notice anything auto-completing), and I didn't spend any time looking for one. As there are several platforms on which R runs, and a number of interactive interfaces, you may need to be a bit more specific in the framing of your question to get a more informative response.

Hi! That was quick, and thanks. I'm afraid I wasn't precise enough. I'm using Windows XP and by autocompletion I mean typing the first few letters of a command and then have the system either complete the command or give you possible options, as in MATLAB or, for that matter, UNIX.

I believe JGR also has it. Since you mention Matlab and are using WinXP, JGR is probably closer to what you're expecting. See http://www.rosuda.org/software/JGR/.> options, as in MATLAB or, for that matter, UNIX.I guess you meant something like the bash shell, instead of "UNIX"?
