How to get the prompt to wrap my input?
by Egholm

Rate this Message:
Hi there,
I'm using Octave (3.0.1) under WinXP, and would like the input prompt to wrap my long lines when entering (just as Cygwin does it) instead of "scrolling" the single line and prefixing with a "<". Is that possible, somehow? BR, Egholm |

But it lacks the possibility to go back and change anything in a previous line... I'd really rather that the prompt just wrapped :-/ Thanks for the suggestion anyway, Egholm |

You can try to add
set horizontal-scroll-mode on to the file <octave_root>\share\octave\3.0.1\m\startup\inputrc and restart octave. But I'm not sure that option is honored when running GNU readline in a windows command prompt. Michael.

Hi Michael,
Good suggestion, however it didn't do the trick :-/ Maybe it's really a matter of configuring "msys" - the hosting shell?!

If you cannot get the results by trying the suggestion by Michael, it is better to write the long lines by suitable text editor like SciTE (which is bundled with octave-3.0.1 MSVC) , copy it to the windows clipboard CTRL+C or ScITE menu, and paste them to using right mouse button to the windows command prompt in which 'quick edit mode' are enabled.

Are you running octave in MSYS shell or in windows command prompt? This makes a difference. I don't think what you want is possible in the windows command prompt. However it might work in MSYS rxvt. But keep in mind that MSYS rxvt terminal emulation is poor, so other things might not work. To start octave correctly in MSYS rxvt, you should use the flags --line-editing --interactive, to force interactive mode.

Hi Michael,
If I start it from the Windows Start menu, it launches it in MSYS (I think)... I just tried starting it "manually" from my Cygwin shell - now, there I get the desired multiline wrapping. However, editing the line makes everything "explode" - text being repeated, left dangling on the screen. That could be related to a similar bad rxvt simulation in Cygwin?! I stumbled across this one describing these Cygwin problems, as well: http://www-old.cae.wisc.edu/pipermail/help-octave/2008-February/008007.html Unfortunately, no response... // Egholm |

Hi Tatsuro ,
That's a way to get around it, but I'd prefer that as a last option - it's not so smooth (though indeed way smoother with quick-edit mode, yes) :-) // Egholm |

You can also try console.sourceforge.net
I think the line edits behave the way you want. --judd On Fri, May 1, 2009 at 7:31 AM, Egholm <nabble@...> wrote:

Hi Judd,
I just tried it, however it acts justs as msys, and if I launch cygwin in there and then octave, it behaves just as my normal cygwin shell (messing up the multilines when deleting)... Good suggestion, though... BR, Egholm |
