Idea: visual feedback text colorised

[QM-System-32]

Would be possible to create an onTextChange listener that is called when the text typed by the user has changed? Possibly returning it (the text changed).
And another function that allows to modify the text in the input allowing to be colorise with ANSI escape codes...
Thanks.

Hi, the first should be pretty simple, the second should also be possible. If you feel like it, you could implement the first one yourself and raise a PR? It should be very straightforward :)

I can try. But I have some questions:

1. These callbacks are defined in the main: std::function<void(Backend&)> on_command { nullptr };

   // gets called when tab is pressed and new suggestions are requested
   std::function<std::vectorstd::string(Backend&, std::string, int)> on_autocomplete { nullptr };

   // gets called on write(), for writing to a file or similar secondary logging system
   std::function<void(const std::string&)> on_write { nullptr };

And since they are a sort of listener, where they have been called?

2. What is commandline.lib and why I need to include as lib in visual studio to compile? Otherwise linker cannot resolve some stuff.

3. To test the program I downloaded the code in a zip and I added it to a Visual Studio project manually rewriting the main file. Is there a properly way to download and test the code or that's it?
   Thanks.

The best way is to include the commandline.h, and then link to commandline.lib.
