Pycharm IPython tab completion not working (within python console)

So I have searched high and low for an answer regarding this and I am starting to come to the conclusion that it simply isn't a feature for Pycharm.

I am using IPython in Pycharm and I cannot get tab completion to work at all. If I start IPython in the terminal within Pycharm, there is no issue and tab completion works as promised.

What am I missing here? I am using Pycharm Community 4.5.4.

Thanks!

Solution

  • I emailed PyCharm support and asked the same question. Their response is that tab completion isn't currently supported, but you can vote here to move it up their priority list.

    After years of tab completion in my muscle memory, Ctrl + space is not an ideal alternative.
