'editline' is a (BSD style) free readline clone. it works quite well. of course a haskell clone might be more convienient. a google search will turn up various references to it. John On Thu, Jun 19, 2003 at 11:46:43AM +0100, Alastair Reid wrote:

As I see it, the main problem is reproducing all the keybindings. I'm certain that every user of readline has their own habitual set of emacs keystrokes that differs slightly from everyone elses, so inevitably the full complement will need to be supported. Then there is parsing of the .inputrc file which can /re/bind any keystroke. And of course, just to be awkward, there are vi-mode users like me, where the keystroke set is entirely different anyway.
It would be nice to have those bindings but just having backspace and left-right cursors work would already be a huge improvement over nothing.
