jline-users Mailing List for JLine - Java console input library

This was reported as a JRuby bug: even though you can line edit, and 
Ctrl-D exits the process, you can't use Ctrl-D to delete the character 
under the cursor.

I don't know whether this is standard behavior for Ctrl-D, so my patch 
here is just adding it to the existing Ctrl-D behavior. Any objections 
to this?

It's reported in the Jline tracker as bug #2608344 and in JRuby's 
tracker as JRUBY-2488 (http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/JRUBY-2488).

Any thoughts on how to fix it? Is there a bug filed?

The only issue I'd really like to see fixed if possible is when you have a
long line that wraps in a terminal window, you can't get back to the first
part of the line to fix a typo.  The 'Home' key only goes to the start of
the line the cursor is on rather than to the start of the wrapped line.  I'm
using jline in my DbConsole project, dbconsole.sourceforge.net.

We've got a similar situation with JRuby...just missing features 
essentially. I'm hoping we can gather user reports as much as possible 
before putting out a new release (0.10?) that includes everything. Given 
that this mailing list was populated by only a handful of people, we 
need to get the word out that we're soliciting bugs and fixes.

I thought we where using a stock jline-0.9.94.jar, but I just
downloaded it and the md5's don't match -- I'll check with the other
Jython folks.

As for bugs, I know we want some changes, but I'll have to gather
specifics (the vague answer I have at the moment is "we need more gnu
readline features to support iPython") iPython is an extra-fancy
interpreter environment for Python that we'd really love to get
working on Jython.

Frank, do you have any known bugs or patches for Jline?

Very good. Had any issues you haven't reported or any fixes you'd like 
to see get in?

- Charlie

Hiya,
  As Charles requested to hear from some users, this is a little
email to say that I use jline in my project 'grash'

info -> http://javanicus.com/blog2/items/161-index.html
website -> http://grash.javanicus.com/grash

I picked jline back in 2004 as it was the best pure Java way of
getting all the command history goodness into my JVM shell,
and it just works.  Beautiful.  Congrats on joining the team headius,

ciao

I recall Hiram's mail, but don't recall if there was a patch.

Hey all,

Jython also uses JLine, I'm glad to see a new release is forming!

-Frank

Is it in a bug report on sf.net? Can you point it out?

Hi Charlie,
If you guys are prepping for a new release, I would like to see Hiram
Chirino's patch for ANSI colors on Win32 included if possible.  Any
thoughts?

Chris
