Summary: interactions pane keystrokes
Initial Comment:
Story:
An impatient programmer wishes to type several
interactions into the interactions pane in sequence.
The user knows what they are without being concerned
with the results of the first few (perhaps they are
import statements, declarations, or other statements
using a semicolon to suppress output). The programmer,
being impatiant, does not want to have to wait until
each one finishes before typing the next one; instead,
once an interaction has been typed, the user hits enter
and begins typing the next interaction. When the first
interaction finishes, the second line of typing appears
at the new prompt in the interactions pane and is
immediately executed.
The idea here would be to emulate the way a Unix
terminal handles input, minus the extra echoing. If
your prompt is busy, characters typed in are basically
queued until the next time the prompt is available. As
a result, several sequqential commands can be entered
all at once without waiting for the result of the first.
This isn't a big deal, and I'm not even sure we *want*
this behavior, but I think it would be nice.
