Hi,
could someone update the documentation regarding the function of the cntl+I key combination in REPL-mode giving a list of all the globals?
I think it is a very usefull feature that every micropython user should be aware of.
Regards, Erik

But the current document says that hitting Control-I (only spelled TAB) will auto-complete any currently typed name against the globals, and print options if there's more than one possible completion. That's exactly what you're describing.
Possibly this could be made clearer in some way, with an example or by noting that Control-I is TAB.

Hi,
@mwm: I never realised that cntl-I is the same as tab, was just trying all cntl+key combinations.
Maybe still good the inform the users that you can 'auto-complete' an empty line to get a list of the globals by pressing tab as this is not very intuitive (for me).
@deshipu: I don't have a build system installed, need to upgrade my pc first...

You don't need to build anything to update documentation. You can do it even right there in the browser.

Does this work for all globals?
