Lol, yes you can maxaf. Part of the reason I built this library in the first place

There is also a nuget package

Library author here. I would love if people took it for a spin and gave me feedback. Also contributions are welcome, I'm currently trying to figure out ways of testing deeper into the library.

Do you plan to support the equivalent of ~/.inputrc to configure editing options (specifically vi editing mode)?

That's really cool. I was just looking at the ReadLine that the PowerShell team released the other day.

Only this week, I decided to get serious about learning PowerShell. I had tried it before but didn’t really get hooked. This time, I persevered and was also lucky enough to stumble across PSReadLine and some of the other goodies listed at http://psget.net/directory/ So far, it’s the Readline emulation that has made the biggest impression. With it, PowerShell has become so much more pleasurable to use and it’s no longer annoying to switch between it and Bash on Cygwin.

I use psreadline / conemu every day (it's been out quite a while). If you have GNU ctrl-R, up, escape underscore etc in your fingertips, you want it.

Windows users:

    Install-Package PSReadLine

Then add

    Import-Module PSReadLine

To whatever $profile is.

tonerdo: I don't really know .net very well, how would .net readline compare to psreadline?

Do you have a link? I can't seem to locate it. Thanks!
