Hmmm I see...you're saying that this is all due to my minimalistic repl
enviroment (raw terminal embedded in gedit + leiningen2)...I know eclipse
does folding and stuff but what about when you want to hit <enter> to break
a line and then you want to align some other sentence underneath? will it
show on the raw terminal exactly as it shows on the eclipse text-editor?
I'm asking because in gedit the only way i can predict where things go is
whenever i have a continuous string (no line breaks)...
