That's normal, line editing on Unix terminals is a kinda
advanced library feature. The most common lib to do it, GNU
readline, is actually a big thing that pushed the GPL because
of how useful it was and it happened to use that license.
I wrote one too though it is a bit bulky.
https://github.com/adamdruppe/arsd/blob/master/terminal.d
import terminal;
void main() {
auto terminal = Terminal(ConsoleOutputMode.linear);
auto line = terminal.getline("your prompt: ");
terminal.writeln("You wrote: ", line);
}
compile:
dmd yourapp.d terminal.d
I get these errors with terminal.d (on OSX):
Joels-MacBook-Pro:small joelcnz$ rdmd term.d
arsd/terminal.d(1268): Error: undefined identifier 'SIGWINCH'
arsd/terminal.d(1381): Error: undefined identifier 'SIGWINCH'
Joels-MacBook-Pro:small joelcnz$
Note: I've got term.d as the main file, I've got terminal.d in
arsd folder
I've put up an issue on your github site.
