repl and log style and positioning

[kadirpekel]

bigger sized, fixed positioned repl input with sliding logs may be more ux friendly

[gryzzly]

you think it'd be better for the input line to be fixed in one place? not like on the terminal?

[kadirpekel]

Personally i prefer fixed input (such like firebug input), at least if planned to be terminal, it must be hang after 25 loc or whatelse.

makes sense!

I don't like fixed positioned input (like we have in input branch now). The main problem with that is I have to move my eyes top-down every time.

I think the main disadvantage of node-repl is node> line have the same color as all other code. But we don't have this problem in http://nv.no.de/

I think your complain is about the flow direction of evaled log. It's top down now, if it is bottom up It's ok anyway. I liked the fixed one but no problem, it should be the other one. But is it possible to restrict repl row count to for e.g 25 loc like a real terminal?

I don't see any props of restricting amount of rows. I don't restrict it in my Terminal.app. Could you give me a use case?

BTW, this is how looks REPL in master

And this is input branch

[kadirpekel]

Think about newly opened terminal with row and cursor at top, as entering new lines, current row slides down until it reaches to host window boundary. Later the row hit the bottom of window it stays fixed, and logs slides bottom to up. Clear? Sayin 'Like a real terminal', i meant this.

Try 6c022d0. Is it better?
