Thanks for your reply! This made me think: could I bind enter to newline and alt-enter to accept, which then made me think if it was possible to have enter to accept and alt-enter to newline on first line only, after that in reverse. That made me think of the script I added to the post.

But serious, without this I would have never thought of doing what I did.

Erm… fish-like multiline editing? This does everything but that… but still thanks, as the syntax hylighting is something I wanted.

I updated my post to be clearer.

because it is a python shell, not a posix shell. and, my python broke, and I don’t know how to solve that (but I am not lokking for help with that :)

ah, I updated the post to be clearer :).
