12656 :: using multiple lines within 'nim secret'

  Probably something really simple but can't for the life of me figure it out..

  I've been porting a JS library into Nim and have been trying to use 'nim secret' to quickly test things. Whenever I get to the point of needing to declare type sections I don't know how to get it to use multiple lines.

  ex:

  
  >>>
  >>> type
  stdin(3, 1) Error: identifier expected, but got '[EOF]'
  >>>
  Run

  The last time I remember using 'nim secret' I think I was just able to hit 'enter' and it would automatically indent appropriately. Not 100% certain.

  I tried CTRL + Enter and a few others but no success.

  Try https://github.com/inim-repl/INim for quick interactive tests

  If you use vim, I added nim support for Codi.nvim. An extension to create interactive scratchpads. It uses inim and work super well for testing code, throws results to the right of the command like xcode used to be.
