I occasionally ssh
into machines that have Mathematica installed. I then operate Mathematica through the command-line interface.
Often, the command-line interface isn't the ideal way to operate Mathematica, but it does have incredible convenience and speed advantages.
Is there a ncurses library (maybe even a 3rd party one) to add additional functionality when accessing Mathematica through ssh
?
Edit
List of ideas for additional functionality
- Cursor clicking support, so I don't have to use the arrow keys
- Ability to rerun command (Shift+Enter)
- Support for Save As
Esc-x
shell
. Then launch the Mathematica Kernel (usually with the commandmath
). That's it. Now you can move up and down with the cursor and re-run commands. However, cursor clicking won't work unless you start an XWindow server (which costs you some of the speed advantages that a pure text terminal has). $\endgroup$ – Jens Mar 19 '13 at 5:30
