I recently switched my shell from tcsh to the default OpenBSD shell (ksh).

What I really miss is multiline editing of current (very long) commands (ksh simply horizontally "scrolls", showing only a part of the command line).

I know that in standard ksh this functionality is activated with "set -o multiline", but under OpenBSD (7.1 amd64) it gives this error:

ksh: set: multiline: bad option

So, is there any way to activate the multiline option in ksh?

I'm not sure about multiline. But have you tried set -o emacs ? I have used this to get tcsh-like functionality.

hope this helps,
