Hi Alan, Yes, using windows, I can use arrow up and down to recall commands but no ^A or ^E for jumping to the begining or end of line don't work in cmd.exe. however with --readline in irb I can use the commandline completion and some other shortcuts > I'm not sure > what tab tab and ctrl-r does, but I don't use them and i'd rather have the > ability to type more than 80 chars. the CTRL+R recalls search and TAB TAB shows completion for methods in irb (these facilities are provided by readline). more here: http://www.bigsmoke.us/readline/shortcuts > I probably don't really understand why it works...but it does.

I just thought I always need realine if I want to manipulate commandline with shortucts anyway, here is a nice write up http://bogojoker.com/readline/ I usually use Ctrl+A for jumping to the beginning and Ctr+E to end. Also Ctr+W for deleting previous word and 'tab tab' for method completion. Ctrl+R for search command history sometimes, but I mostly use up arrow to recall previous commands So yes, the --noreadline options works great for editing long lines (this is great news for windows user) I don't know if using 'rb-readline' gem helps in this regard at all. > > On Feb 8, 2010 10:49 AM, "marekj" <[email protected]> wrote: > > so I see that TABTAB and CTRL+R don't work without readline. > and conf.io is now StdioInputMethod instead of ReadlineInputMethod > So far I don't know what other implications may be for --noreadline option > > marekj > > Watirloo: Semantic Page Objects in UseCases > http://github.com/marekj/watirloo/ > > Support Watir Project http://pledgie.com/campaigns/2982 > > > On Mon, Feb 8, 2010 at 10:30 AM, Željko Filipin > <[email protected]> wrote: >> On Mon, Feb... > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "Watir General" group. > To post to this group, send email to [email protected] > Before posting, please read the following guidelines: > http://wiki.openqa.org/display/WTR/Support > To unsubscribe from this group, send email to > [email protected] > For more options, visit this group at > http://groups.google.com/group/watir-general > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Watir General" group.
