why does rails console scroll to the right?

When the ouput of a command on the internal "Rails Console" is wider than the screen, the console scrolls horizontally to show the right side of the line.

 

This is a pain, as usually the left side is the most significant.

 

Is there a way to prevent this?

 

Also: it would be great to have Vi keyboard bindings on the input area. Is that possible?

 

Thanks.

+1 - scrolling to the right is a big time waster - wish it would be fixed.

Hi Chez,

It is not possible now, however Rails and IRB consoles seem to be reworked in further versions and maybe this will be possible.

Oleg
