# minline

A line editing library in pure Nim designed to be easy to use and provide a minimal (but useful) set of features to build interactive CLI applications.

*minline* provides:

* Basic line editing functionality, move the cursor left and right, delete characters etc.

* Support for a simple prompt at the beginning of the line.

* Support for hiding typed characters (and print asterisks instead).

* Support for intercepting keypresses before they are printed to stdout.

* Some Emacs-like keybindings.

* Customizable line completion.

* Customizable key bindings (i.e. bind a key or a sequence of keys to a Nim proc).

* Persistent history management (history entries can be written to a file).

*minline* does *not* provide:

* Support for multiple lines (you will not be able to move to the next line)

* Support for Unicode or characters other than ASCII.

* Support for colors in the prompt.

* Full Emacs or Vi key bindings.
