Well, I use \e=vim and it works fine. But, sometimes you forget and the results can be destructive to the database. I messed around for a little bit with the tab completion callback routine yesterday and I now believe that's not the issue. It only fires when you tab AFAICT -- so the problem is in the readline function itself which reduces the set of solutions somewhat -- either you run it or you don't. One thing that could solve a lot of issues would be to disable readline when inside a dollar quote etc. merlin -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
