The only thing that's not so +nice about it is overly simple command-line interface. The absence of +~<UP>~, ~C-a~, ~M-b~, etc. can be annoying, even though I only occasionally +use SBCL directly. + +I have 3 solutions to this problem now: + +- Use [[http://common-lisp.net/project/slime/][SLIME]], which is what I do most of the time, but sometimes this + isn't practical. + +- Use [[http://common-lisp.net/project/linedit/][Linedit]]. I tried this, and it was cool. But somehow I broke it + and now I can't get it to work. + +- Use [[http://utopia.knoware.nl/~hlub/uck/rlwrap/#rlwrap][rlwrap]]. This requires you to either always invoke SBCL as + =rlwrap sbcl= or create an alias for it. This works very well too, + is very simple and doesn't noticeably increase start-up time. |
