8 years ago This has been suggested before, in #38 and #44. It should be relatively straight forward to implement, but nobody has sent a pull request yet.
About the closest you can get with the current code is to seed the history buffer, so the user can find it quickly with up, tab, or Ctrl-R.
Sorry, I'm not familiar with the other libraries that are available. No doubt there exists one more suited to your needs.
Hi there,
I am working on a simple terminal-based todolist app, and I'm currently focusing on editing a todo. Ideally for editing I would allow the user to edit the existing todo description by showing it on the screen, something like this:
The user could backspace, etc or edit text on the screen. I've been looking at a few golang libraries that emulate readline but don't quite do exactly what I need above. I am wondering if this is something that I could use liner to do.
It's almost like I need to prompt the user with the exiting todo text, but obviously liner would not allow the user to backspace or use the left arrow key to edit the todo.
Anyways, I know this isn't an issue with liner. I just figured I'd reach out to see if this is something you might be able to point me in the right direction. Thanks so much!
