I use IDL under OSX and Linux; every program I use seems to have a
host of commandline parameters that need to be set and I need to run
them several times with minor changes. I use the up-arrow to recall
the previous command, but if it is longer than one line and wraps,
when I try to cursor back through it, the cursor stops at the
beginning of the last line.
In "reality" it is still going back through the command, but I have to
go forward again to see where it is in the command, then back up to
make my change, etc. If I have more than one change to make, this can
get ugly, and difficult.
Is there a way to make the cursor visually go back through the
recalled line through the the wordwrap? When I'm at the command line
before running IDL, the cursor will arrow-back over wordwraps, it only
misbehaves when I'm in IDL.
