I hacked a little wrapper in Python providing readline functionality for interactive steamcmd sessions. You can find it over here: https://github.com/dirkd/steamsh/blob/master/steamsh
At the moment it provides some simple tab-completion (based on the start of your input, double-tab for a list of matches; no context-aware completion yet), a command history (saved to ~/.history_steamsh), exit via sending EOF and also has some quirks: - Output is being extensively buffered, so you don't get immediate feedback for long running operations (e.g. app_update) - Input buffer is sometimes not correctly cleared when stepping through the history leaving behind artifacts of an entry that was stepped over (doesn't effect the actual input that is sent to steamcmd though) - There's a short delay on startup b/c it reads all possible convars/commands from steamcmd Should run on any Unix-like system that has Python >=2.6 installed. If it doesn't please file a bug report on Github so I can fix that :) hth On Sun, Mar 31, 2013 at 10:28 PM, ics <[email protected]> wrote: > No it's not just you.
