Hi,

I have a basic question about pg client. I know it is possible to let pg complete the name of a table by pressing the arrow key.

It's the Tab key by default, which might be what you're referring to. I can't remember what (if anything) French keyboards have on them.

unfortunately I can't do it while I am connected to pg (8.2) from a gnome terminal.
Also the history does not work for me when I press up arraow key.

If it works in your console but not Gnome, then it's worth checking what terminal it thinks it is - echo $TERM. Mine says "xterm". It's also worth testing some other applications with readline support and see if their history/completion

If it doesn't work in the console too, it's probably a problem with your readline library.
