@nodejs/repl @nodejs/readline PTAL. I included a couple of smaller things that are all somewhat connected. I can split this into multiple PRs if requested.

This

  • adds substring history search,
  • improves unicode support,
  • adds support for tabs,
  • improves previews of very long input,
  • refactors code for simplicity and
  • improves the performance of the GetColumnWidth function for some inputs.

@BridgeAR BridgeAR force-pushed the 2019-12-27-repl-substring-history-search branch from 97ecd26 to 6c73393 Compare January 8, 2020 09:57

repl: improve preview length calculation
05c19bd 
The preview had an off by one error in case colors where deactivated
and did not take fullwidth unicode characters into account when
displaying the preview.
@BridgeAR
readline,repl: add substring based history search
470e87f 
This improves the current history search feature by adding substring
based history search similar to ZSH. In case the `UP` or `DOWN`
buttons are pressed after writing a few characters, the start string
up to the current cursor is used to search the history.

All other history features work exactly as they used to.

Fixes: nodejs#28437
@BridgeAR
readline,repl: skip history entries identical to the current line
6efc2b9 
Skip history entries that are identical to the currently visible line
to improve the user experience.
@BridgeAR
readline,repl: improve history up/previous
5a213fe 
Reaching the history end caused the last entry to be persistent.
That way there's no actualy feedback to the user that the history
end is reached. Instead, visualize the original input line and keep
the history index at the history end in case the user wants to go
back again.

readline: simplify getStringWidth()
3b8315c 
Simplify getStringWidth by removing dead code (the options were
unused) and by refactoring the logic.
@BridgeAR
readline: move charLengthLeft() and charLengthAt()
d6b1bac 
This moves the charLengthLeft() and charLengthAt() into the internal
readline file. This allows sharing the functions internally with
other code.
@BridgeAR
src: improve GetColumnWidth performance
9f7730e 
This improves the performance in GetColumnWidth for full width
characters.
@BridgeAR
src: change GetStringWidth's expand_emoji_sequence option default
e9bc956 
The option is now set to true by default. Most terminals do not have
full emoji support and visualize emojis with zero width joiners as
individual emojis.
Also verify that at least one argument is always passed through to the
function and remove support for passing through code points. Only
accept strings from now on to simplify the API.

This improves the completion previews by activating them for lines

readline: improve getStringWidth()
7163b1e 
1. Simplify the getStringWidth function used by Intl builds by removing
   dead code (the options were unused) and by refactoring the logic.
2. Improve the getStringWidth unicode handling used by non-Intl builds.
   The getStringWidth function returned the wrong width for multiple
   inputs. It's now improved by supporting various zero width characters
   and more full width characters.
