Better support for long commands

Open scotthovestadt opened this issue 8 years ago • 5 comments

After executing a long command, it appears on the next line and overlaps with the command prompt. Typing removes it, but you can't effectively see your previous command.

kk. We should look at Inqurier to see if this is a problem there as well.

@scotthovestadt This is usually a problem with your terminal settings. Is this an isolated Vorpal problem?

Not sure if I'm experiencing the same issue, but I'm also having problems with long commands: vorpal_wrap_issue

Issues experienced above:

  1. Backspace deletes characters, but they remain displayed on lines beyond the first (when the cursor moves backwards I'm pressing backspace not an arrow key)
  2. Prompt jumping up to top line without clearing/cutting
  3. Weird pyramids of letters

I'm on:

  • OSX 10.12.6
  • Node 6.11.1 (but I also tried with 8.9.0)
  • iTerm 3.1.5 (but I also tried with Mac Terminal)
  • zsh 5.2 (but I also tried starting with bash)
  • Vorpal 1.11.4 (but I also tried with 1.12.0 and had the same issue)

Edit: Tried in tmux and the problem doesn't occur.

Hi, Inquirer user here. Looking at alternatives to try to find a fix, as I have this issue in my program as well. I am having these problems when I use Inquirer. They won't fix it for some reason.

If this project is based off of Inquirer, this is likely an Inquirer problem.
