Thread: \h behaviour - strange ?

\h behaviour - strange ?

From
Frank G Hahn
Date:
Hi
Hope this is the correct mail-list for last-detail-bugs before release.
Just installed RC4.
Requested help on create function using \h using
tab-completion. Really nice feature btw.
However the \h expects everything after \h to be exact (after the initial 
space(s) ).

The help-request below will return 'No help ...'
'\h CREATE FUNCTION '  <- Note ending space, result of tab-completion.

Would the preferred behaviour of \h not be white-space-stripping ?
(or rather ignoring white-spaces altogether)

Minor detail, but it's there.

doesn't accept
'\h create  function' 
either. (two spaces)

Yeah, that's probably a little dumb. Perhaps I can squeeze that into 7.0.1
or so.

Seems this is fixed in 7.0.
