Hello, This week I implemented a solid chunk of basic editing actions (think forward-word/kill-line) at the prompt, and did another pass through my code from last week to rename and restructure some things. I didn't run into any bugs or much of anything interesting. I ended up with a bit of spare time towards the end of the week, so I looked into getting a proper flashing cursor wired up, since pressing editing keys without the cursor showing/hiding itself as expected felt very wrong. However there isn't a generic timer API in the loader, so I will need to implement my own or have an entirely separate implementation for each platform. Neither option is great, so I'm going to spend a bit more time digging before I decide on how to solve the problem. Connor
