Copy pasting to Julia cmd/Powershell in Windows

Hi all
I often use Atom for programming. But at times I prefer to use Julia through cmd or Powershell.
When I copy paste code, it sometimes happens that Julia shows a “ton of output”, as shown below

I am not sure whether this corresponds to all defined variables (and functions), it might be.

I think this happens when I copy paste some code with more ‘columns/width’ than the cmd window.

Is there any way I can avoid this?

I recall that this also happened with Notepad++ and that autohotkey plugin (which probably does nothing more than copy/paste through the clipboard).

julia> x=2 #some of the code I copied and pasted

Is your x=2 indented? It looks like julia is parsing the input as TAB TAB, and therefore displays all the possible completions

While my example was not very good (it does not show the actual code I pasted), you are absolutely right.

My code in Notepad++ (or rather, my *.jl file) has tab indented lines.
Thus if I copy multiple lines, “I paste a tab” on an empty line.

Can I suppress the autocomplete triggered by tab in case I have not yet typed anything?

edit: I just checked, I actually need a double tab, to have julia show ‘that list of all possible names/commands’.

One way is to tell your editor to use spaces instead of tabs
