Linedit is a readline-style library written in Common Lisp that provides customizable line-editing features.

Linedit uses UFFI for foreign bindings, so it is a least theoretically portable, though REPL-wrapping is currently SBCL specific.

Here are some key features of "Linedit":
single-line text reader
multi-line form reader
completions on packages and symbols in current image
completions on directories and filenames
apropos-word and describe-word
unlimited undo
unlimited kill-ring
unlimited history
paren matching (not across lines)
multiple histories
use in REPL on SBCL
paging
fully customizable in CL
works on Linux, FreeBSD, Darwin

Installation:

If you have asdf-install, just:

CL-USER(1): (require :asdf-install)
...
CL-USER(2): (asdf-install:install :linedit)
...select restarts as approriate...

Requirements:
Osicat 0.4.0 or later
