<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:

tab completion, but not auto-indent. I also tend to run the same few
commands every time I start up the interactive console to test something or
other. E.g "import winforms". One reason people love emacs
and vim is that they are extremely configurable. You can put your
settings and startup commands in a config file (.emacs or .vimrc) that is
loaded automatically. I would like the same in the interactive
console. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p><font size=2 color=navy face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:

auto-indentation so that you do not have to type the indentation for multi-line
statements. This works nicely for interactive manual typing. However, if you
paste text blocks (which will already have indentation in them), it will lead
to double indentation as the console cannot detect if the text was typed in or
pasted as a block. </span></font><o:p></o:p></p>
