++ Tab completion ++
The input control supports tab-completion of variables and member attributes names.
Hit the tab key once to complete the current input if there is one single candidate.
If there is more than one, hit the tab key a second time to open a menu listing all matching possibilities.
By default, only "public" member attributes are listed.
That is, if the input is "nav.", attribute names with no leading underscore are proposed.
If the input is "nav._", attribute names with a single leading underscore are proposed.
Similarly, if the input is "nav.__", attribute names with two leading underscores are proposed.

It is similar to the [local Python console #PythonConsole] discussed above, but is accessed via TCP.
