Readline on Windows 7 is still (almost) completely unusable. The reason
is that
??? by default, keys are not bound on Windows;
??? GP is linked with v6.2 of libreadline;
??? Pre-v7.0 of libreadline, INPUTRC defaults to "%HOME%/.inputrc".
(v7.0 takes into account APPDATA, as it should.)
??? On Windows 7, %HOME% is not set (and setting it on non-new system
would break configuration of already-configured software).
As a result, INPUTRC defaults to "/.inputrc" on Windows 7?????????so
depends on the current drive. Unusable.
The solution is to
??? build with v7.0 of readline.
??? Include the attached .inputrc.
??? Inform new users that it should be installed in %HOME% (if
present) or in %APPDATA%.
Ilya
P.S. Other (minor) gripes about ReadLine on Windows:
(A) The ???enabled??? row should include the name of term (not possible to
find otherwise on Windows) and App (to be self-documenting), as in:
(readline v6.2 enabled [term=msys appName=Pari-GP], extended help enabled)
It looks like term=dumb
(https://fossies.org/dox/readline-7.0/terminal_8c_source.html#l00450)
(but not in 6.2: empty or NULL?!)
(B) Sound from TAB (e.g., in the beginning of line): see https://superuser.com/a/1108121
But on my Win7 "Console Window Host" is not showing.
What is shown is "System Sounds" (which is set to ???No Sounds???
scheme ??? but it still emits the beep!). What helps is setting
its volume level to 1 (the sound is present ??? which is
helpful ??? but its loudness is not annoying at all).
(C) Control-Shift-@ works out of the box ??? but beeps.
(Except on keyboards built with Microsoft-Keyboard_Layout_Creator.)
