Add ctrl + left/right arrow support to the REPL #1471

Closed Darazaki closed 4 days ago

Darazaki commented 4 days ago

Hi! Made a small patch for a recurring annoyance I had with the REPL. Only tested on Linux w/ WezTerm & Konsole but should work on any modern terminal

Thank you for making/maintaining such a nice programming language :)

Commit Description:

Ctrl + left/right arrow would simply input "5D"/"5C" into the REPL which was useless and confusing

With this change, it instead goes to the previous/next word which is usually expected in readline-like interfaces

Tried it out in Void Linux.

Works nicely :)
