Hi there, following up on a clbuild-devel thread from last year.
Quoting David Lichteblau ([email protected]): > Perhaps it would be nice to enable linedit in "clbuild prepl" by > default? (Note that "clbuild prepl" also works on other Lisps, in > particular Clozure. We should see to it that the linedit feature is > either supported by those Lisps, or enabled only if running on SBCL). code from linedit is now available as a part of Hemlock's TTY backend. If you run the following steps: clbuild install hemlock clbuild dumpcore hemlock.tty # optional, improves startup speed clbuild prepl you get a REPL with command line editing. Improvements over upstream linedit include: - (better) support for multi-line editing - incremental search through history - persistent history - integrated with hemlock code At the moment, possible disadvantages include: - integrated with hemlock code :-) - undo not optimal yet - lack of support for dumb terminals Planned future improvements include syntax highlighting as in the real TTY hackend, and more hemlock integration. (Tested only on SBCL/Linux at the moment, but in principle as portable as tty Hemlock is.) d. _______________________________________________ clbuild-devel mailing list [email protected] http://common-lisp.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/clbuild-devel
