Should the --no-line-editing value >be removed from the options? No. Not unless Octave adds a --disable--tab--expansion as I suggest in the second route that I described. The current options provide minimal damage with current Octave's behaviour. To do better, Octave should follow one of the two routes I illustrated above.
