keepassxc-cli: history of previous commands

[2019-05-10]

keepassxc-cli open Foo.kdbx
Passwords> ls
foo
bar
Passwords>

If now I hit the up key, all I get is
Passwords> ^[[A

instead of the last command.
Would be great if some sort of history, at least for the current session, exists.

All you need is rlwrap:

rlwrap -H /dev/null keepassxc-cli open ...

-H /dev/null is there to discard history.

Running it over ssh be sure to set -t option for ssh (otherwise passwords would be echoed in cleartext):

ssh -t user@host rlwrap -H /dev/null keepassxc-cli open ...

While rlwrap solves the issue, it would be more user-friendly to make this a part of the software itself, so that it works out of the box.
