readline
- I need CTRL + A (Select all) command on the cmd
- After years of bash, I actually found a shortcut I never heard about.
- Keyboard tricks from a macOS app dev
-
shell-reader - an easy-to-use library for creating shells for the Linux terminal with support for navigating command history
That's nice, were you aware of readline?

Ask HN: What libraries does go have for building interactive shells?
Do you want to build an interactive shell or a cli tool? For a custom shell I have used https://github.com/chzyer/readline before, but I did not work on it a lot.
I also wanted custom completions based on context and this readline implementation was decent for that.

Just ordered the C2 as my first mechanical keyboard
On first glance, it seems like the Mac layout would be less convenient with Linux due to the alt/option key being further from the spacebar and more awkward to hit with your thumb. This makes a lot of commonly used keybindings (such as the standard readline keybindings, https://github.com/chzyer/readline/blob/master/doc/shortcut.md, commonly used in bash and other shells amongst other applications) harder to hit. Linux GUI applications use alt/option more frequently than super/command as well.

I switched from macOS to Linux after 15 years of Apple
but that's the readline shortcuts which are the same no matter which Unix terminal you are using, on macOS, Linux, cygwin, git bash, WSL...

Ask HN: What libraries does go have for building interactive shells?
I want to build a command line tool with context-sensitive completion. This is important because it allows interactive exploration of the options -- both of the application and of the current data model -- available to the user.
So far this is what I've found.
https://github.com/desertbit/grumble
https://github.com/spf13/cobra
https://github.com/urfave/cli
https://github.com/abiosoft/ishell
I would like to know people's experiences and recommendations in building such an app in go.

Ask HN: What is a Golang equivalent / workalike of Python “cmd”?
Maybe something like: https://github.com/abiosoft/ishell
Your question is a little unclear. For any serious command prompt, it becomes almost required to build one from scratch as libraries tend to have too many constraints that prevent advanced use cases.
What are some alternatives?
cobra - A Commander for modern Go CLI interactions
liner - Pure Go line editor with history, inspired by linenoise
f-license - Open Source License Key Generation and Verification Tool written in Go
complete - bash completion written in go + bash completion for go command
grumble - A powerful modern CLI and SHELL
mitchellh/cli - A Go library for implementing command-line interfaces.
