Flyline is a Bash plugin written in Rust that replaces readline to provide a modern command-line editing experience. It adds syntax highlighting, autosuggestions, fuzzy history search, rich prompts, mouse support, and AI agent-assisted command writing.

Use cases

  • replace readline in bash with modern line editing
  • add syntax highlighting and autosuggestions to bash
  • fuzzy search my shell command history
  • customize my bash prompt with widgets and animations
  • get AI agent help writing shell commands
  • improve bash tab completion with tooltips
  • get an out-of-the-box polished shell without configuring many plugins

When to choose

  • you use Bash as your primary shell and want modern editing features
  • you want ble.sh-like functionality with better performance via Rust
  • you want autosuggestions, fuzzy history, and rich prompts without assembling multiple plugins
  • you want to extend your shell line editor in Rust

When to avoid

  • you use zsh or fish rather than bash
  • you rely on standard readline behavior or scripts that assume it
  • you don't want mouse capturing in the terminal
  • you need a battle-tested, long-established line editor
