Alt Up to recall previous commands to the current input line
In Matlab and RStudio, I love the ability to recall a command I’ve already typed using the up arrow key. Today I discovered alt up arrow to do the same in wxMaxima!
Ctrl Shift K for autocompletion and function template
This is really the best implementation of function templates I’ve seen in an IDE:
In wxMaxima, if I type inte and then ctrl shift k, I see a popup menu of possible completions. Choosing integrate results in an input cell template that looks like:
integrate(<expr>,<x>)
Pressing Tab highlights <expr> and I simply type the expression to be integrated. A second press of Tab key highlights <x> and I type the name of the independent variable.
But wait, there’s more: this works for any currently defined function—including user defined functions.
**UPDATE** In the newer versions of wxMaxima (since v15.10) Ctrl+Tab and Shift+Ctrl+Tab also trigger autocompletion.
