bash node env vars for readline

[lokeb]

Nodemon does not respect NODE_NO_READLINE=1 env variable. I need to set this env variable as documented here:
https://nodejs.org/api/repl.html#using-the-nodejs-repl-with-advanced-line-editors

Bash handles history and interrupts keyboard inputs like UP, DOWN, PGUP, PGDN. To use those keyboard inputs with Node, NODE_NO_READLINE=1 has to be set.

>$ NODE_NO_READLINE=1 node . //works
>$ NODE_NO_READLINE=1 nodemon . //does not work

In absence of this env var, keyboard inputs appear as escape sequences like [[^A, [[^B.

I'm dropping directly into the repl - can you provide the script you're testing with?

Otherwise, when I run NODE_NO_READLINE=1 node (again, going directly into repl), and cursor up gives the same [[^A (on macos).
