From 6de6cae3e70caba0ff8fe3d2d6cb7c4fd0022618 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Rebecca Turner Date: Sun, 8 Sep 2024 15:49:08 -0700 Subject: repl: Patch editline to recognize Meta-Left & Meta-Right This applies https://github.com/troglobit/editline/pull/70 to our build of editline, which translates `meta-left` and `meta-right` into `fd_word` and `bk_word`. This makes `nix repl` soooo much nicer to use! Note: My terminal renders `meta-left` as `\e\e[C` and `meta-right` as `\e\e[D`.
