Hello group,
I am trying to add readline to a program.
Three problems so far:
- Prompting and Input are two very different parts of the program.
No chance here I guess with readline?
It needs to know the prompt even with 'rl_already_prompted', correct?
- Can the history cope with changing prompt?
Haven't tried this yet, but searched and found nothing
in the documentation (info).
- TAB expansion for files is not useful in the program.
So I switched it off with: 'rl_bind_key('\t', rl_insert);'
Now you can insert verbatim TAB in the input.
This results in erroneous line display when using history.
Is this a known problem? workaround?
Anyone here can help me with these?
Thank you for any hints.
