TabComplete 1.0

Argument tab-completion occur when the user presses the key following the function name in the Command Window. The list of available/possible arguments is then presented in a popup window. TABCOMPLETE modifies the [matlabroot '/toolbox/local/TC.xml'] file to set/unset the tab-completion definition of the specified function. Note: changes take effect only after a Matlab restart. TABCOMPLETE(funcName, argType1, argType2, ...) sets the tab-completion list for function arguments 1, 2, etc. argType can be one of these pre-defined keywords: - 'var' - list of current workspace variables - 'fun' - list of accessible functions - 'subfun' - list of accessible sub-functions - 'dir' - list of accessible folders (directories) - 'file' - list of accessible files (of any type) - 'mfile' - list of accessible *.m files (Matlab functions) - 'matfile' - list of accessible *.mat files (Matlab data) - 'figfile' - list of accessible *.fig files (figures) - 'mdlfile' - list of accessible *.mdl files (Simulink models) - (if none of the above is specified, 'subfun' is set automatically) And in addition to the pre-defined kewords: - additional string value(s) that will be added to the pop-up list Multiple types for the same argument can be specified: - as a cell array - example: {'var','file','on','off'} - as a space-separated string - example: 'var file on off' The last argType specified will apply for all subsequent arguments. The last argType may be '' (empty string) to indicate the end of tab-completed args. The last argType does *NOT* accept additional string values like the rest of the arguments. TABCOMPLETE(funcName,'') removes all arg tab-completions for funcName (this is an immediate corollary of the previous paragraph). definitions=TABCOMPLETE (without any arguments) returns a structure array listing all the current tab-completion definitions. definitions=TABCOMPLETE(funcName) returns a structure listing the tab-completion definition for the specified function (if existing). definitions=TABCOMPLETE(...) returns a structure array listing all tab-completion definitions BEFORE their modification by TABCOMPLETE. Examples: tabcomplete('addpath','dir') % sets multiple folder completions tabcomplete('edit','file fun') % sets multiple file/func completions tabcomplete('cd','dir','') % sets a single-arg folder completion tabcomplete('save','matfile',{'var','-struct','-regexp'}) => *.mat followed by multiple variable-names or '-struct'/'-regexp' tabcomplete('myFunc','') % removes myFunc's arg tab-completions defs = tabcomplete('cd') % returns 'cd' function's tab-completions defs = tabcomplete % returns all currently-defined tab-completionsWarning: This code heavily relies on undocumented and unsupported Matlab functionality. It works on Matlab 7+, but use at your own risk!Technical explanation: A technical explanation of the code in this utility can be found on http://undocumentedmatlab.com/blog/setting...ab-completions/
