Hi

I'm a bit puzzled, I installed reply via ActiveState ppm (5.24) on Win10 and the inline editing supports the usual GNU/Emacs commands like CTRL-a -e -k -y and so on

But the standard perldebugger doesn't.

Both use Term::ReadLine and the environment var PERL_RL isn't set to another backend.

Does anyone have insight how reply is achieving this and if and how I can activate this inside the debugger too?

(NB: The Term::ReadLine::Gnu backend is not available for ActiveState/Win )

I already browsed thru reply's repository but couldn't find a hint...

PS: Reply is actually a pretty cool tool, but might need a better tutorial to show it's features.
