This is controlled by

> getOption("rl_word_breaks")
[1] " \t\n\"\\'`><=%;,|&{()}"

Basically [ does not break words into tokens (space does). You can
change this to

options(rl_word_breaks = paste(getOption("rl_word_breaks"), "[]", sep = ""))

But then the following won't work:

> x = list(aaa = list(AAA = 1, BBB = 2))
> x[[1]]$A<TAB>
