Prompt Toolkit defaults
The interactive prompt is built with prompt-toolkit which provides a lot of Emacs and Vi-style keyboard. Some emacs bindings you may find useful are
Ctrl-A: Move cursor to the start of the line.Ctrl-B: Move cursor back one character.Ctrl-D: Delete the character under the cursor.Ctrl-E: Move cursor to the end of the line.Ctrl-F: Move cursor forward one character.Ctrl-K: Delete from the cursor to the end of the line.Ctrl-L: Clear the screen.Ctrl-N: Move down to the next history entry.Ctrl-P: Move up to the previous history entry.Ctrl-R: Reverse search in command history.
Note: aider currently exits vi normal mode after a single command, (maybe something to do with the esc keybinding?). Feel free to investigate and make a PR if you would like to see it fully supported.
Prompt toolkit also does not provide clear documentation on the bindings they support - maybe you can take aider and help them out with that and we can then link to the authoritative docs.
