Backspace (and cursor movement) doesn't work in v7.3.19 #38

Closed Cypher1 closed 8 years ago

Functionality was fine as late as v7.2.2 but the development edition doesn't support cursor movement in interactive mode.

The delete key doesn't work in 7.3.27 either on Terminal on macOS Sierra.

That is an issue between GNU libreadline and Terminal. Prolog is not involved. It seems to depend on the version of libreadline used and the version of Terminal used. Please report with libreadline and/or the Macport, Homebrew or whatever package system was used. You can also try an alternative for Terminal.

You can compile SWI-Prolog without libreadline or run it as swipl -tty. That should work, but only with the primitive command line editing of the Unix terminal API.
