Inputting Commands

ShellP has many features with inputting commands. These are made possible using the prompt_toolkit library.

History

New in version 0.2.0.

ShellP stores command history in ~/.shellp/history. You can use the up and down arrow keys to navigate through the history.

Auto suggestion

New in version 0.2.0.

Auto suggestion allows you to quickly insert commands that you have typed before. When you start typing a command, suggestions appear in grey. Pressing either the right arrow key or ^E will cause the suggestion to be filled in.

Syntax Highlighting

New in version 0.2.0.

ShellP uses Pygments to highlight commands as you type. You can use the highlight_style config option to set any style that is built in to Pygments.
