Hmm, that's bothersome. I've often encountered a related issue.
While tab-completion works fine for commands and methods, in the
command-line (not notebook)
sage: zeta_zeros? [tab]
Display all 1544 possibilities? (y or n)
appears, which is the same as Justin's response. However,
sage: zeta_zeros? [return]
Type: function
Base Class: <type 'function'>
etc.
works fine.
On the other hand, in the notebook interface both [tab] and [shift-
enter] work; [shift-enter] stays visible, while [tab] disappears once
you start working elsewhere (which to me is a neat feature, as both of
these are useful, and should be highlighted in documentation).
Somehow this asymmetry with the notebook is disturbing, though I have
no idea whether it is possible to resolve.
Thanks for any thoughts on either of these issues.
