   Hi all,

Are there any plans to add more functionality to command-line editing and history editing on the command line?

In MATLAB (I know, comparisons are odious ...), you can type "p" and up-arrow on the command line and scroll through the recently entered commands beginning with "p". This is a very useful  feature and something that I believe is not replicated in R. 
Please correct me if I'm wrong; currently I use history(Inf) in R, search for what I want and cut and paste if I find what I'm looking for.

Also in MATLAB, tab completion is available for directory listings and also for function name completion. Again, I'm unaware of how to do this in R. The added MATLAB  functionality makes finding files easy on the command line and it also saves the fingers on long function names. 

Thanks,

Jack.
