Hi
>From my understanding of >http://cnswww.cns.cwru.edu/php/chet/readline/rltop.html it's OK to ask gnu-readline questions in this list. I'm trying to interactively add colors while typing in readline and using rl_event_hook to change rl_line_buffer seems to work. Alas the ANSI escape codes for formatting which are allowed in the prompt are not interpreted and shown as they are. I learned from the old discussions I googled entering formatting code would confuse cursor point and history entries. Any other approach to achieve this? Maybe a hook which does the final printing when a line is displayed, where I could inject colors? Cheers Rolf
