Is reedline full-duplex? How do I `print_line` while `read_line`ing?
Is a chat-like application an intended use case for Reedline? If no, it should be explicitly documented. If yes, a sample that prints messages from a timer while simultaneously allowing user to edit the command line should be provided.
I don't see this feature in neither of Rust readline crates, it is even absent from a comparison table. It is also absent from Brainstorming Features issue - is it only for user-facing features or also for system ones like support for async or custom file descriptors?
This idea is similar to #236. There is certainly some interest to be able to have some background process/thread/task printing without disrupting the layout of the prompt. Currently we certainly focus first and foremost to achieve a stable version for use in nushell. But we should come back to that in the future.
Hi all! Due to my need for an external printer,I made a very basic ExternalPrinter as an optional feature. You can take a look: https://github.com/GrxE/reedline. Do you want me to make a PR?
