Description

The latest version of IRB is broken when used through Emacs comint (the inf-ruby package).

The standalone irb works okay-ish if passed --nomultiline, (EDIT:) and for Rails one can do rails console -- --nomultiline (with recent enough rails). Any other program that similarly embeds Irb is still affected, and in all cases, when a script has to make a choice whether to pass --nomultiline, it creates a performance penalty on top of it.

If IRB read some environment variable and disabled multiline editing (singleline too maybe, it doesn't seem any effect here), that would be great.

Terminal Emulator

Emacs comint.

Setting Files

Are you using ~/.irbrc and ~/.inputrc?

No. Changing IRB.conf[:USE_MULTILINE] through .irbrc works, but I can hardly ask every user to do that.

Switch to StdioInputMethod when TERM is 'dumb'
f04a184 
This works around Reline's misbehavior on low-capability terminals,
such as when IRB is launched inside Emacs (ruby/reline#616).

It should also resolve ruby#68 and resolve ruby#113 which were filed out of
similar need.
