Description phatmann 2008-11-04 16:42:07 UTC

In a terminal pane (e.g. Rails Console), hitting tab does not complete a command, nor do the up and down arrows walk
through command-line history. Worse, the tab is inserted as an invisible character, which makes the command unparseable.
This makes the terminal panes unusable for me, which is a shame, since I like having them in the IDE.

I don't think the ruby console is using "the" terminalemulator
yet, which is why it's having these problems.
Martin, am I right?

No. It is still old dump textarea. phatmann you might add yourself to the CC of issue 133994 to watch the progress.
Currently there are two blockers which needs to be addressed by Ivan.

Comment 3 Martin Krauskopf 2008-11-04 21:52:56 UTC

I.e. you are right Ivan :) This might be probably closed.

An experimental version of a terminal-based IOProvider is now available.
