Jason Plurad commented on GROOVY-6453:
--------------------------------------
This works for me to enable arrow keys `-Djline.terminal=none`.
I haven't spent a long time in these packages, so I'm not really clear what I'm
missing out on with this setting -- see WindowsTerminal.java from jline, and
the WrappedInputStream usage in InteractiveShellRunner.groovy from
groovy-groovysh. jline doesn't detect that the input stream is actually stdin
because groovysh wrappers it.
jline acknowledges that it is a bit messy...

> groovysh in Windows 7/8 doesn't support arrow keys and Del
> ----------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: GROOVY-6453
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GROOVY-6453
> Project: Groovy
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Groovysh
> Affects Versions: 2.2.0
> Environment: Windows 8, 64bit (v6.2, build 9200), java version
> "1.7.0_45" SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_45-b18) HotSpot 64-Bit Server
> VM (build 24.45-b08, mixed mode), Russian locale (!)
> Reporter: Andrew P Fink
> Labels: console, jline
>
> I have bare windows 8 with fresh JDK. I run Groovysh in cmd.exe.
> Groovysh 2.1.9 works as expected.
> Groovysh 2.2.0 doesn't react to arrow keys and Del, i.e. up key doesn't show
> previous command, left key doesn't shift cursor etc.
> After some investigation I found what is working:
> ctrl-a go to beginning of line
> ctrl-e go to End of line
> ctrl-f go Forward one char
> ctrl-b go Backward one char
> ctrl-d delete the char
> ctrl-h and backspace = delete left char
> ctrl-p recall previous line
> ctrl-n recall next line
> ctrl-s search
> ctrl-r reverse search
> It's nice and feel myself like a Linux hacker, but I want arrow keys too ;-)
> I tried different options:
> - upgrade jline2.10 to 2.11 - no effect
> - --terminal=unix - it helps, but duplicate prompt (groovy:000>) and no more
> colors in console
> Looks like problem lies in new jline v2 (groovysh 2.1.9 uses jline1.0)
