Example from cl-readline's documentation: https://vindarel.github.io/cl-readline/
It showcases custom completion and keybindings. Type a command (with TAB-completion), and type arguments (with TAB-completion of the choices).
To run the example:
sbcl --script example.lisp
or build an executable:
make build # and then ./clreadline
(we added handling of a C-c).
See the custom completion: first, type and complete a verb (eat, throw,…). Later words are completed as fruits (orange, banana,…). Type "o" and see the completion to "orange" (no dropdown list).
Also type C-o to insert a predefined custom text,
and type an opening paren "(" to insert two parens and move the cursor in-between (using rl:insert-text and rl:backward-char).
Some command line apps using cl-readline:
- cl-repl - an SBCL repl.
- cl-torrents - searching and downloading torrents from popular trackers.
- replic - a library to quickly build a readline app from a lisp library.
- sbcli - a simple wrapper around the bare-bones SBCL REPL with completion of Lisp symbols, syntax highlighting, no interactive debugger by default.
- cl-repl - an advanced terminal Lisp REPL for the terminal: interactive debugger, syntax highlighting, code editing with a text editor…
- OpenBookStore - a book management software, with web and readline interfaces.
- shtookovina - a language learning app (unmaintained).

We added:
- Nov, 2023: bind "(" to "( )" and move the cursor in-between.
- Nov, 2022: handle a C-d (NIL input), output something to show using the text variable.
- july, 2019: rewrote without curry, removed the dependency on Alexandria, added a dependency on cl-str.
- asdf system declaration
make buildto build a binary- catch a
C-c(and others) and quit gracefully (in executable only).
