[REQUEST] Arrow Keys and cursor control?

[scherrey]

I have a little language interpreter/repl that is begging for integration with rich. What I really need to be able to support, however, is a rapid input history access (via up/down arrows) and support cursor movements on a line of text.

Is there a method for getting access to individual keystroke input with rich?

My target environment in linux but it would be nice if the feature was platform independent. I'm running Python 3.8.

Just being able to use up arrow to repeat the last input command and (preferably) being able to edit it before executing would be a godsend in terms of usability improvements. Pretty much something like what bash presently offers.

Rich doesn't offer any interactivity yet. It might in the future.

In the meantime, you might want to look at prompt-toolkit.

Thanks I will check it out! Will see how prompt-toolkit and rich can co-exist.
