Summary
This patch adds support for displaying a right-aligned prompt (
rprompt) similar to zsh'sRPROMPTfeature.Usage
Implementation
rpromptattribute toReline::Core(reader + setter)rprompttoLineEditorininner_readlineLineEditor#render, add rprompt as a segment on the first visible line at[right_col, width, text]Motivation
I wanted to have this feature for my app that I'm building on top of Reline, and found it difficult to implement without patching Reline itself.
Testing
Behavior of the RPROMPT feature can be confirmed with something like this.
