GNU readline for all text input fields

Hi,

I am fairly new to TouchDesigner, but am a sysadmin/programmer/hacker for 25 years.

I would love if TD would use the GNU libreadline library for all text input fields. Most Apple Mac apps (e.g. textedit as one example) plus the python interpreter CLI, bash, etc. use this library so you can do things like:

ctrl-A (go to beginning of line)
ctrl-K (yank from cursor to yank buffer)
ctrl-Y (yank - paste yank buffer here)
ctrl-E (go to end of line)
ctrl-B (back a character)
ctrl-F (forward a character)

etc.

Please consider adding this as it would make my TD work so much more pleasant! :slight_smile:

Thanks,
David

Also, I forgot to mention the one place that really drove me to post this RFE!

The Textport! This needs to have the readline editing capabilities!
