A Go library for building powerful interactive command-line prompts, inspired by python-prompt-toolkit. It provides autocomplete, syntax highlighting, and key bindings for building cross-platform interactive CLI tools.

Use cases

  • build an interactive shell with autocomplete in Go
  • add tab-completion to a CLI tool
  • create a REPL for a domain-specific language
  • build an interactive kubernetes or docker client
  • prompt users with suggestions and descriptions in the terminal

When to choose

  • you are writing a Go CLI that needs an interactive prompt with completion
  • you want python-prompt-toolkit-like behavior in Go
  • you need cross-platform terminal input handling with VT100 support

When to avoid

  • you only need simple one-line input without completion
  • you are building a GUI or web application
  • you need a full TUI framework with windows and panels
