rlwrap

Add line editing, persistent history and prompt completion to a REPL command. More information: https://github.com/hanslub42/rlwrap.

  • Run a REPL command with line editing, persistent history and prompt completion:

rlwrap {{command}}

  • Use all words seen on input and output for prompt completion:

rlwrap --remember {{command}}

  • Better prompt completion if prompts contain ANSI colour codes:

rlwrap --ansi-colour-aware {{command}}

  • Enable filename completion (case sensitive):

rlwrap --complete-filenames {{command}}

  • Add coloured prompts, use colour name, or an ASCI-conformant colour specification. Use an uppercase colour name for bold styling:

rlwrap --prompt-colour={{black|red|green|yellow|blue|cyan|purple|white|colour_spec}} {{command}}
