ConEmu does not seem to provide additional command line editing but it supports ANSI escape sequences. One could do the same with Console2 in combination with ansicon but, yes, ConEmu is better.

Linenoise uses just a few ANSI escape sequences which should work with ConEmu.

Could we hack csi.scm to use linenoise? I have doubts. It looks complicated.

Bonjour,

Console2 (see URL below) is a reasonable replacement for 'rlwrap' or 'rlfe' when using csi on MS Windows, MinGW. Go to Edit / Settings and change the shell to csi.


Actually, it's not that good. Does anyone have a good replacement for 'rlwrap' ? or something like Console2 but better suited?

I heard emacs and slime can do this but that is intimidating for an old vi user.

Merci.

P.S. I know I could use Cygwin.


I thought that Console2's development had been stopped. 

In any case, if you are looking for a better shell replacement, try ConEmu. It has everything that you could possibly want, even a quake-like console, text progress bar detection, tabs, copy and paste (with the right mouse button!) etc. Also, install Clink for the shell itself.


I have yet to try running CSI under it, but will probably do it later.
