I really miss `ctrl-l` to clear the screen and `ctrl-d` to exit like other REPLs provide. Since `ctrl-d` is ignored, I would chose to alias it to one of the two "break" codes: `ctrl-c` or `ctrl-g`.
I've read through the [Iex source code](https://github.com/elixir-lang/elixir/tree/master/lib/iex/lib) and don't see how to extend the code. The closest thing I've found is [the `tab` completion handler](https://github.com/elixir-lang/elixir/blob/master/lib/iex/lib/iex/autocomplete.ex). It seems to work via a plug-in strategy as this section implies: @doc """ Provides one helper function that is injected into connecting remote nodes to properly handle autocompletion. """ def remsh(node) do fn e -> case :rpc.call(node, IEx.Autocomplete, :expand, [e]) do {:badrpc, _} -> {:no, '', []} r -> r end end end But I still can't figure out how the `tab` character is specified for this "hook" (if it even is a hook). Are "special" characters like `tab` and `ctrl-c` handled exclusively by an Erlang server, and somehow Iex's current architecture rules out adding new key combinations? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elixir-lang-core" group.
