Programmatic Input Manipulation about replxx HOT 6 CLOSED

Hello.

I understand the need.
I am thinking about proper API and I am open to ideas.
I have two concepts but I do not want to state them to prevent anchoring.
What are yours ideas for the API?

from replxx.

I feel like an api could work much like the callback systems currently implemented for highlighting and completions. Something like,

void modify_callback(std::string & content, int & cursor_location);

and allow users to take the string, in modify it as they wish, and also change the cursor before internal state updates

from replxx.

It is one of the possible solutions.
I also thought about adding interface for pushing fake keypress events onto the event queue.
It would tie neatly to what I have in mind for #19 and #33.
The only problem, I have very little time for implementing new features
and #6 has definitely highest priority on my TODO list in replxx.

What do you guys think about using recently added emulate_key_press() API to achieve what you have requested here?

@nickwanninger

Any chance you would provide a patch for this issue?
Or at least propose place where modify_callback (if implemented) should be called?
