Jumping at the beginning or end of line with CTRL or ALT + arrows

[jerefrer]

Hi there,

Thank you for building on top of jazz_hands for a more to-date bundle of useful gems.

But there's one thing I lost in the transition : I can't jump to the beginning of words with CTRL or ALT + the arrow keys. I'm very used to navigate like this so it feels very annoying to me not to be able to use them ...

When I try to do for example CTRL + LEFT ARROW and then CTRL + RIGH ARROW I get 5D and 5C printed out but the cursor doesn't move, like this:

SomeClass5D5C

The thing is I don't know why it's not working anymore. Maybe you know ?

So jazz_fingers neither jazz_hands have anything related to this configuration.
If something stopped adding this feature it must be one of the dependencies. In the bump of the dependencies this feature might have changed or removed.

[plribeiro3000]

I could not find anything on the dependency projects that could be the culprit for such behaviour.
Can you confirm this works in jazz_hands using the same machine as you are using jazz_fingers?

[jerefrer]

I confirm it works well on jazz_hands on the same machine, same project.

By looking at the Gemfile.lock diff I think the main difference is that jazz_fingers is using byebug where jazz_hands uses debugger.

So I've looked at byebug directly and found this issue deivid-rodriguez/byebug#118. It seems it's really a byebug issue so I'll stop bothering you here ;)

Thanks for you time !

[plribeiro3000]

Wow. Sorry if i missed that issue. =s
So it seems we need to check readline to fix that, huh?

[jerefrer]

I think it's related to some environments, and to the way you compile ruby. In my case I'm on Archlinux and using RVM.
I haven't managed to find the right trick for now but I'l keep trying.

[plribeiro3000]

Hmm. Thank you for the feedback.
Let me know how it goes.

Thanks!

[jerefrer]

Okay so actually I just needed to update jazz_fingers to update byebug and the issue is gone.

But now I've lost colors ... It's not my day ...

I've tried to go at full throttle but still no colors and noawesome print. Hirb works.

if defined?(JazzFingers)
  Pry.color = true
  Hirb.enable
  JazzFingers.configure do |config|
    config.colored_prompt = true
    config.awesome_print = true
    config.coolline = true
  end

  require 'jazz_fingers/setup'
end

[plribeiro3000]

Hmmm, which version of the dependencies are you using?

[jerefrer]

jazz_fingers (2.0.2)
awesome_print (1.6.1)
coolline (0.5.0)
unicode_utils (1.4.0)
pry (0.10.1)
pry-byebug (3.2.0)
pry-coolline (0.2.5)
pry-doc (0.8.0)
pry-git (0.2.3)
pry-remote (0.1.8)
hirb (0.7.3)
coderay (1.1.0)
method_source (0.8.2)
slop (3.6.0)

[jerefrer]

Well actually it's not working ... I got misled because before the upgrade rails c used to start the console through Pry and now it appears it doesn't. But if I add a binding.pry breakpoint then it properly opens Pry with colors and everything along with the readline bug ...

[plribeiro3000]

Oh yeah. i did remove pry-rails as dependency so this code works pretty well in non rails apps.
Maybe we should have this in README?

[jerefrer]

Yep definitely
