It's a bit more complicated. The field has a default and a preassigned Value.
The default is p.e. 'localhost' and the value is 'www.gentoo.org'. Then localhost is chosen if the value is erased to ''. But i want to make it easy to keep the preassigned value! So if nothing is typed 'www.gentoo.org' should be used. I just thought that extending the commandline input interface would be quite useful. I want a text field that can be edited like common GUI-TextFields on command line... mfg - eth James Stroud wrote: > Clemens Hepper wrote: >> Hello, >> for my project confux (http://confux.sourceforge.net) I want to read >> a line from stdin. >> But I don't want the user to type a new line.
