I'm not an expert in linux stuff but the last 3.7.1 version had I very some useful features when working in the linux terminal (bash shell):
- when pressing keyboard button end the cursor jumped to the end of line, and when pressed home it jumped to the beginning
- when pressed tab key it tried (as in the bash shell) to help me by typing the names of files that I like to plot out
- the long lines in gnuplot wraped quite nicely (it wasn't perfect but OK)
This feature in version (3.8i patchlevel 0) don't exists any more. Must I turn some switch ON or OFF, or set some env. variable.
Please help me because I it quite difficult to work with out this features!
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
The existence or non-existence of this feature is not a question of which version of gnuplot you have, but of how you built. Reading the 'INSTALL' description or just the output of 'configure --help' should have given you a clue or two.
In a nutshell: you didn't build 3.8i with GNU readline support.
