Guy Rouillier commented on GROOVY-6453: --------------------------------------- Found this via search. I'm on Windows 7 64-bit, and tried both groovy-2.6.0-alpha-3 and groovy-3.0.0-alpha-3. Cursor keys are not working in either one. I'm surprised to see this issue is now 5 years old. Is there some basic restriction preventing this from being corrected in groovysh? I tried creating a groovy.rc file containing the contents from the previous post by Dariusz Antoniuk, but don't know where to put it. I tried in \groovy-3.0.0-alpha-3\bin, \groovy-3.0.0-alpha-3\conf, and C:\Users\<myusername>\.groovy, and it still didn't work. > groovysh in Windows 7/8/10 doesn't support arrow keys and Del > ------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: GROOVY-6453 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GROOVY-6453 > Project: Groovy > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Groovysh > Affects Versions: 2.2.0 > Environment: Windows 8, 64bit (v6.2, build 9200), java version > "1.7.0_45" SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_45-b18) HotSpot 64-Bit Server > VM (build 24.45-b08, mixed mode), Russian locale (!) > Reporter: Andrew P Fink > Priority: Major > Labels: console, jline > > I have bare windows 8 with fresh JDK. I run Groovysh in cmd.exe. > Groovysh 2.1.9 works as expected. > Groovysh 2.2.0 doesn't react to arrow keys and Del, i.e. up key doesn't show > previous command, left key doesn't shift cursor etc. > After some investigation I found what is working: > ctrl-a go to beginning of line > ctrl-e go to End of line > ctrl-f go Forward one char > ctrl-b go Backward one char > ctrl-d delete the char > ctrl-h and backspace = delete left char > ctrl-p recall previous line > ctrl-n recall next line > ctrl-s search > ctrl-r reverse search > It's nice and feel myself like a Linux hacker, but I want arrow keys too ;-) > I tried different options: > - upgrade jline2.10 to 2.11 - no effect > - --terminal=unix - it helps, but duplicate prompt (groovy:000>) and no more > colors in console > Looks like problem lies in new jline v2 (groovysh 2.1.9 uses jline1.0) -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.3#76005)
