Get current line text

[jiayihu]

How can I get the text of the current line (for example when Enter is pressed)? Of course I could keep track of it listening the key event but I'm thinking if there is a better solution.

Great work anyway! 🤘

No easy way to do this right now, and it wouldn't be a reliable method of pulling out the command that was run if that's what you're thinking for the following reasons:

• Different shells/users have different prompt formats
• Pressing enter doesn't necessarily mean the line is a command (think random enter presses, applications like vim, opening a " and typing, etc.)

I'm going to close this in favor of #576 which aims to extract more state from the shell.
