Multiline commands are visually broken

Open LiteracyFanatic opened this issue 6 years ago • 2 comments

If $PL_ERASE_LINE=true as it does by default, multiline commands break when recalled from history. As soon as you add or remove a character from the first line of the command, the entire line will disappear from view.

Commit https://github.com/chris-marsh/pureline/commit/a75d929444c9738dd4deb7f6d7ef68f251c78beb changed PL_ERASE_TO_EOL default to false.

IIRC, it seems to depend on the terminal emulator as to which option works best.

It wouldn't surprise me if that were the case. I've only tested with xfce4-terminal. If there isn't a default that behaves well everywhere then perhaps a small note in the README letting people know to toggle it if they have trouble would be a good idea.
