9454 :: Strange issue with readline

• archnim (orginal) [2022-09-09T12:09:27+02:00] view original

  Hello world ! My program uses stdin.readLine. When typing my input text, I can't use the left and right arrow keys to navigate through it. If I try, instead of moving the cursor, it prints ^[[D and ^[[C. Does somebody know why ?

  I use allacritty and xfce terminal (If this detail is useful).

  Because that logic needs to be implemented in the program itself on nix. If you don't want to do it manually - you can use https://nim-lang.org/docs/rdstdin.html or Nimble modules (like the ncurses wrapper).

  Shouldn't rdstdin be comprised in the terminal module ?
