IRust

Cross Platform Rust Repl

Keywords / Tips & Tricks

:help => print help

:reset => reset repl

:show => show repl current code

:add => add dependencies (requires cargo-edit)

:load => load a rust script into the repl

:pop => remove last repl code line

:del => remove a specific line from repl code (line count starts at 1 from the first expression statement)

:: => run a shell command, example ::ls

You can use arrow keys to cycle through commands history

Keybindings

ctrl-l clear screen

ctrl-c clear line, double click to exit

ctrl-d exit if buffer is empty

ctrl-z [unix only] send IRust to the background

HOME/END go to line start / line end

Tab - cycle through auto-completion suggestions (requires racer) - when cursor is at line end and right arrow key is pressed, shown suggestion will be used

Cli commands

--help prints help message

--reset-config reset IRust configuration to default
