For example, Python 3.6 properly handles it. The reason I think it is Node.js issue and not issue with command prompt is because other programs which provide REPL functionalities properly display the cursor after moving (reset the cursor blink rate to visible state). Using CTRL+ ← helps a bit skipping whole words, but it is still very hard to navigate if the code is large. Users need to wait one second after moving in order to find out where the cursor currently is.
It makes navigating through the code very hard. What went wrong?Īfter moving, the cursor becomes hidden. The cursor has blink rate, but after user moves it, it should be visible no matter if at the given moment the blink rate timeout suggest that it should be visible or invisible. For example, command prompt automatically displays the cursor after it has been moved. The cursor should be visible immediatelly after moving (to the left or to the right).
