Tom Quarendon commented on KARAF-5382:
--------------------------------------
Useful to be able to get the raw line. That's helpful.
Not sure I understand the first half. From Session you don't have access to the
reader directly, all you have is "session.readLine". Hence me creating my own
LineReader from the Terminal I can get from Session (casting to
jline.Terminal). Having got that, I either set my own completer, or nothing at
all, and don't set a highlighter.
If what you mean is could I try changing the Karaf shell source code of the
Session class to make that change, then I'm not sure how I'd go about doing
that and running the result.

> I don't know what the intended use case is for session.readLine, but the
> behaviour w.r.t backslashes is odd.
> I use is to prompt for a password from the user. So in an action, call
> session.readLine("prompt", '*'). However, if the user's password contains a
> backslash, readLine doesn't return what the user typed, which is mighty
> confusing.
