Description: |
The Tcl REPL has an issue. With Python, Ruby, JavaScript and others, pressing "up" will give you the previous command. With Tcl, it just utterly breaks the session, requiring Ctrl+C or similar. | |||

You are probably looking for interactive "readline" support. There are multiple options for this; one "official" option is tclreadline. I think this functionality might be beneficial to have by default ("opt-out" rather than "opt-in") for usability, but I'm not sure the Tcl community would agree, for example due to the number of approaches, some of which require external software dependencies. svnpenn added on 2019-06-08 04:26:57: Looks like it depends on the build - this one works as expected https://irontcl.com |
