Question

The debugger is really (de)bugging me. Every time I try to type a po … command, it autocompletes (without giving me any options) and I end up typing stuff like po [selfelf and so on until I go mad. Is there any way of stopping this, or of always giving me the autocomplete popup like in the standard editor?

This answer applied to the GDB debugger which is no longer the standard debugger used with Xcode

This is achieved by adding the following line to the “readline init file” (which, by default, I think does not exist). I created the file ~/.inputrc and put the following text in it:

set disable-completions 'On'
