Question/Discussion: REPL history + copy-paste

[mindreframer]

First: thanks for doing this, this it the most functional go repl out there!

While not a big issue, but it would be nice to be able to copy-paste larger code blocks into the repl directly. History + tab completion would be the cherry on top of it.

Here is a project that used the go impl. of readline with great success, maybe this could be something useful here?

Yeah, definitely things on the roadmap!

History is actually implemented, but seems to have been broken. I'll look into that soon

@mindreframer history has been fixed.

I just tried on 911b948 and up arrow still does nothing.

Try running ``` go get -u github.com/mattn/go-tty ```

Yeh, that fixed it and paste works too now. Is it possible to save/restore the history as you exit/restart?

[d4l3k]

Not currently but seems like an easy patch. Just dump the history array into a file somewhere
