Description stevemolitor 2007-07-18 20:58:53 UTC 
In IRB or console windows, tab completion does not work as it does in a shell window (at least on Unix/Mac).  When using IRB or the Rails console in a shell, 
TAB will complete method names, etc.  I find that I don't use the IRB/Console windows in NetBeans because their command line equivalents are more 
functional.

I saw this and figured I'd chime in..
I use tab completion, and to turn it on on some platforms I must use the following invocation :
irb.exe --readline -r irb/completion

I just checked and this seems to work fine in jirb fine as well.
