[REPL] Cursor navigation and history #1416

Open x1unix opened 7 months ago

x1unix commented 7 months ago

Description

Most REPLs like ipython, node, etc. support cursor and history navigation using arrow keys. Currently, REPL mode (gno repl) is missing this functionality.

Gno repl doesn't handle arrow keys

Suggestions

Maybe smth like go-readline can be useful.

FYI, when I'm in my terminal, I use rlwrap to do this: https://github.com/hanslub42/rlwrap

Nevertheless, let's add this as a native REPL feature :)
