Input line not scrolling or wrapping when longer than the screen width #58

Hello.

Just discovered the tool and overjoyed about it. However, being one prone to kilometre-long pipelines (which clutter my history with all the trial and errors, hence why I love the tool even more) the input line seems awfully short, in general, given how input lines longer than the screen width just go beyond the visible area, with no horizontal scrolling or line-wrapping allowing to see what one is writing.

Could you do something about that?

Thanks a bunch!

Hi, thanks for the good words! 🙂 Yep, I totally understand you. I even kind of sometimes stumble upon this myself, but usually forget about it too fast to put it into the issue tracker, so thanks for spelling it out! Now, this however also hints a bit about why it's not done yet: for me personally, it's unfortunately currently not annoying enough to push me to fix it - in a situation where I'm, again unfortunately yet also honestly, at this time being not super motivated to work on this project actively in a big capacity. Given that I had new ideas since, ones itching me more, and time doesn't seem to want to be able to stretch 😕

However, I'm trying to find enough time to be able to support people who want to try their hand at contributing features & fixes to the project. So if you'd like to take an attempt, I'd be happy to try and talk, suggest, and hopefully review! Please note, that I'm not giving a 100% sure guarantee that I'll merge whatever PR whoever opens on the project; but if we communicate and if a contributor accepts that I might want some things to be done one way and not the other, PRs tend to end up merged, and I'm being really grateful!
