bash readline

• hnlmorg 9mo ago
  Readline is one of the oldest libraries available on modern systems. So old that Charm, the framework featured in this article, is written in a programming language that was decades away from conception back when readline was first released. Comparing modern TUIs to readline is like comparing an analogue rotary phone to a smartphone. Readline is also no longer the default experience for your average new user since macOS switched to Zsh many years ago and Microsoft will push Powershell over WSL in the row documentation. I do get the point you’re trying to make. But it’s a pretty weak argument give the age of your examples.

    zsh uses zle, but mouse reporting is off by default.
