pomprt

A tiny and extensible readline implementation built from scratch

• supports most familiar keybinds
• multiline editing, proper line wrapping and Unicode supported
• hints and highlighting as you type
• automatic history
• well supported: any terminal you can think of nowadays probably Just Works
• actually tiny: ~500 SLoC, only depends on libc or winapi

fn main() {
    let mut pomprt = pomprt::simple("><> ");
    loop {
        match pomprt.read() {
            Ok(input) => println!("{input}"),
            Err(pomprt::Eof) => return println!("ctrl-d"),
            Err(pomprt::Interrupt) => return println!("ctrl-c"),
            Err(e) => return println!("error: {e}"),
        }
    }
}
