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
• simple completion api
• automatic history
• well supported: any terminal you can think of nowadays probably Just Works
• actually tiny: ~500 SLoC, only depends on libc or winapi

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