Disable autocomplete on Windows as default

Open sfrieske opened this issue 2 years ago • 0 comments

Description

Autocompletion, which is on as default, causes reline to send a lot of ANSI chars which don't get interpreted by the Windows CMD shell. This is caused by reline and might ultimately be fixed there. Meanwhile, an easy fix is to set USE_AUTOCOMPLETE in IRB to false. In order to not annoy people and make them enjoy IRB on Windows (may be with JRuby only?) please consider making this the default on Windows.
