Hi,
I've added some basic support for readline shortcuts: Ctrl-A: start of line Ctrl-E: end of line Ctrl-K: kill from cursor to end of line Ctrl-Y: yank kill buffer Ctrl-L: clear console I've also added an option for displaying the toolbar(2). Usage is now: pycons [--ipython] [--pylab] [--toolbar] If the toolbar is not specified, commands can be typed directly within console: zoom(), pan(), home(), back(), forward(), save() There is now a installable package (pycons.tgz) available from: http://www.loria.fr/~rougier/pycons.html Nicolas On Mon, 2008-06-30 at 21:21 -0500, John Hunter wrote: > On Sun, Jun 29, 2008 at 9:28 AM, Nicolas Rougier > <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > > > Thanks John, I've update the new version with your code. > > > > It is now available at: > > http://www.loria.fr/~rougier/pylab.html > > > > You can now choose between python and ipython (option -s python > > or -s ipython) and all user events on a figure should be handled > > properly (mouse, scroll and key). > > > > Concerning the toolbar, is is quite easy to add but it is not > > very pleasant to the eyes.
