[Chicken-users] ANN: Parley v0.1 released: When read-line is n^[A^W^[B

[Christian Kellermann]

Dear Chicken Fans,

if have implemented a small line editing egg that uses FFI only for
setting terminal properties, so it does not block on waiting for I/O.

It is called parley - Negotiate your input and can be installed
through the usual suspect chicken-install.

I have put up a small ratinonale about it here:
http://pestilenz.org/~ckeen/blog/posts/parley.html

Note that this is easily extendable with *your* favorite keybindings
and I am looking forward to receiving your favorite key binding
implementations.

Extra points for the person to hand in reliable and nice tab
completion for csi.

Criticism, ideas and praise are equally welcome!

Cheers,

Christian
