Dear list, I have the latest R (2.7.2) build with readline (version 5.2) suppport and installed on a machine running Gentoo Linux. To save some typing it tried to use .inputrc file with a construct for R, which according to documentation should be "RCustomCompletion". I tried both: $if RCustomCompletion [...] $endif and $if application=RCustomCompletion [...] $endif But without any effect, R honors all _global_ customizations in the .inputrc file, though. Any help, comments or pointers will be greatly appreciated. Best, -- Wojciech Grzemski <wgrzemski at gmail.com> "To Carthage then I came..."
