pry-fkeys

Help the user get to a place where the speedy F8/F10/F11/etc keys work.

At some point, it might be fully automated. For now, it just warns when:

• The weaksauce ‘EditLine’ Readline is used instead of the GNU Readline one,

• The F-key bindings are not in ~/.inputrc

The Shortcuts

F4

ls -l (show all locally-defined variables and values)

F5

whereami (show the code context)

F6

up (a frame, depends on pry-stack_explorer, as does the next one)

F7

down

F8

continue (depends on pry-debugger, as do step/next/finish)

Shift-F8

try-again (restart from last ‘raise’, depends on pry-rescue)

F10

next (run the current statement)

F11

step (step into the next method call)

Shift-F11

finish (get back out of the last ‘step’)

Why It’s Ugly

Because it supports vi and emacs keys, in a few different terminal mappings.
