TODO

Issues in need of work. Mostly compatibility with GNU readline, BSD libedit, and usability improvements.

Remember, the general idea is to keep this library small with no external dependencies, except for a generic C library.

Check what's needed to run the fileman example

The BSD libedit library has imported the GNU readline "fileman" example into its tree to demonstrate the abilities of that library. This would also be quite useful for this library!

The first task is to investigate the depependencies and form TODO list items detailing what is missing and, if possible, proposals how to implement including any optional configure flags.

Other minor TODO's

  • Instead of supporting multiline input, try the Emacs approach, line scrolling.
  • Add support for rl_bind_key(), currently only en editline specific el_bind_key() exists.
  • Make char *rl_prompt; globally visible.
  • Add support for rl_set_prompt()
  • Add support for --enable-utf8 to configure script
  • Use strcmp(nl_langinfo(CODESET), "UTF-8") to look for utf8 capable terminal
  • Implement simple UTF-8 parser according to http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/unicode.html#utf-8
