Description

The pry gem features a REPL that uses the Readline stdlib module. With the help of this module, pry's REPL supports most emacs-style readline key bindings:

  • ^P / ^N for navigating up/down the command line history,
  • ^K for killing text to the end of the line,
  • ^Y for yanking last-killed text,
  • ^X^U for undoing,
  • etc.

However, it does NOT support ^O (run command and load next line in history), and I found no reference to the binding in the docs.

I can't speak for anyone else, but I'd very much like to see this functionality implemented in the Readline module.
