Yes, I know about libedit and libreadline. My point is I shouldn't have to alter any command-line app to link to and use some library just to get command-line editing in it. Worse, each app uses a different library with different configuration, syntax, API, and so on. If your zsh is configured to put the prompt on the right, why shouldn't everything else do the same? Yet another library is not an answer - it just adds to the problem. Anyway, command-line apps have been obsolete for years, so I guess we should go on and find better things to argue about. :) -- Parag Patel To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
