Hey!

Thanks for your PR. You are targeting branch "6.2" but it seems your PR description refers to branch "6.3".
Could you update the PR description or change target branch? This helps core maintainers a lot.

Cheers!

Now I have a stand that needs to be reviewed.

I add a zip for easier testing. Feel free to test and try it and find all the bugs.
test-48287.zip

The solution might not be perfect, but for me it seems to work fine. Only with ESC the solution has it's problems. Maybe someone has for that an idea. ESC is "\033" and ctrl buttons as well start with this char.

Current Test failures seem not to be related to the PR.

@GromNaN thanks for your input. Yes, you're right, it's a proof of concept. Because of that i ask for comments on this approach. Now there is a solid base and i need feedback to optimize it.

I'll have a look to the other key combinations you mentioned.

Added the mentioned:

• Key HOME and END
• move from word to word

Test zip: test-48287-2.zip

One problem for now is with a question in a output section with SymfonyStyle ... I'll try to find a solution for that.

UPDATE found a solution for the section input. not very nice, maybe someone has a good idea here. I create a new ConsoleOutput because the input for the question in section in handled after the section with the stdin/stdout.

I think the keys should match default readline configuration.
https://github.com/chzyer/readline/blob/v1.5.1/doc/shortcut.md

Though we might not need to cover all readline features.

hi @Chi-teck and thanks for the link. I'll have a look to that the next days in detail. But i guess some of the keys are already implemented the way readline has implemented it as well. But of course we'll only have a set of this keys.

Hi @Chi-teck,

I updated the description of this PR including all of the currently supported key combinations. It matches the keys of readline and has just some bash additions added.

I of course only added key combinations making sense to the question helper input.

The question helper used in Symfony console looks so outdated. Especially when compared with Laravel prompts and some JS implementations. I wonder if it possible to make it swappable. So a third party packages could provide a replacement for it.

@maxbeckers could you add support for CTRL-C as well here or is that another problem? See composer/composer#12106 for example.

Hi @Seldaek,

good idea. I'm currently on vacation. Afterwards I'll have a look on that.

Hi @Seldaek,

I tried to reproduce that. When I use composer, then I can reproduce your problem:

and i can only exit, when i press enter for no.
But with a simple php script that runs a test command, I can't reproduce that:

There the Ctrl + C exits the application. (Tested with symfony 5.4 and 7.2)

So it seems to be a bug in relation to run the composer script. => No need to change anything for Ctrl + C in the symfony console componenet from my POV.

@maxbeckers ah you're right sorry about that. Figured out some more details here composer/composer#12106 (comment)
