What if someone took c.c, k.h, linenoise.c and linenoise.h and made a tiny k4 REPL for UNIX with commandline history? Would the k community appreciate this as useful, pragmatic solution? I am a BSD /emul/linux, /bin/sh, vi-mode, ESC / user. I need searchable commandline history for q)k) and I really do not like rlwrap as a solution. sources: http://kx.com/q/c/c/ http://kx.com/q/c/c/ http://raw.githubusercontent.com/antirez/linenoise/master/linenoise.c http://raw.githubusercontent.com/antirez/linenoise/master/li... http://raw.githubusercontent.com/antirez/linenoise/master/linenoise.h http://raw.githubusercontent.com/antirez/linenoise/master/li...

For q/k in particular, you can just write a wrapper in q/k. Nothing stops you from doing while[1;0N!. 0:0] you can save the history in a table and do whatever you want.

  "Nothing stops you..." Except my lack of creativity using k at this point. Thanks for this. As a k noob, I wonder: is thinking of solutions using iteration and control structures a bad habit, at least until I have command of the rest of the language? Currently I'm using recordio to save my sessions; crude, but it works well enough: recordio q 2>log

  Here's another solution, a little better than rlwrap: socat readline,history=file exec:q
