How to embed prompt in full screen application? #640

Open typon opened 6 years ago

typon commented 6 years ago

I want a full screen application that looks like this:

|-------------------------|
| other widgets           |
|                         |
|                         |
|                         |
|                         |
|-------------------------|
| prompt/repl             |
|_________________________|

Is something like this possible? I can't seem to find any API calls or examples that allow this.

Hi @typon, Can you have a look at this example: https://github.com/jonathanslenders/python-prompt-toolkit/blob/master/examples/full-screen/calculator.py ? That looks similar to what you are trying to achieve.

Should be a in FAQ, or somewhere in docs.
