psql readline Tab insert tab

how to make psql (readline) to insert tab when Tab is pressed? E.g. for
pasting. I know, there is -n option. But then the history is not
accessible.

I have tried
$if psql
Control-I: "\t"
Control-A: complete
$endif
in my ~/.inputrc. But when I press Tab psql freezes until I press Ctrl+C.

Probably an endless loop.

It could be done by adding the following lines to your ~/.inputrc file:

$if Psql
TAB: tab-insert
$endif

Great! Thank you very much. Could this be added as note to the -n option
of the page http://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/app-psql.html,
please?

Hans

E.g. for pasting. I know, there is -n option. But then the history is
not accessible. I have tried $if psql Control-I: "t" Control-A: complete
$endif in my ~/.inputrc. But when I press Tab psql freezes until I press
Ctrl+C.

following lines to your ~/.inputrc file: $if Psql TAB: tab-insert

Great! Thank you very much. Could this be added as note to

the -n option

of the page

http://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/app-psql.html,

please?

And/or could there be added an option pset paste like :set

paste/nopaste in Vim, please?

Would that be worth an addition to the documentation?

There is already a section about this on the psql man page. (Look for
"disable-completion".)

Right, I didn't notice that.
