One Man’s Walk in work

*Pro tip:

*

Seems like it’s on by default on windows. On other systems, you just need to

require 'irb/completion'

inside of irb to enable it. You can also start irb by typing

irb -r irb/completion

or you can add

require 'irb/completion'

to your .irbrc file To use it just hit tab – so typing

"foo".rev<tab>  -->  "foo".reverse

for example, or

"foo".<tab><tab>

to see all the methods you can call on foo

I was totally amazed that this was already there when charles lowell showed it to me
