Thread: TAB doesn't work in psql

TAB doesn't work in psql

From

I can't tab anymore in psql:
test=> CREATE TABLE friends (test->     Display all 161 possibilities? (y or n)

What is this.  Looks like readline is assuming my tab means 'tab
completion'.  I don't have a problem with tab completion, but I like to
use tab when typing queries to indent my SQL.

When did this happen?

Last time you messed with your .inputrc maybe??? I have always known it
this way. I have made M-Tab to be insert-tab, it's not configured this way
by default.

Oh.  Got it.  I have modified my .inputrc.  I guess I just thought it
used to work.
