Sometimes I push enter too fast...
But, after typing your message you'll have:

> Let's continue? [Y,n,i,?]

I propose to add an e(dit) option to modify your message.

> Let's continue? [Y,e,n,i,?]

Il faudrait utiliser GNU readline à la place de read mais il faut s'assurer que readline soit installé.

Arrow navigation and backward text edition when typing Evomaintenance comment #13

It seems that what @benpro is proposing is different than what @bwaegeneire is proposing.

Being able to edit the message before final validation doesn't imply using a different "read". We just need to reenter the message editing function (or something like that).

Being able to edit the message while typing is a more complex subject. We obviously can delete characters from end to beginning, letter by letter, but it would be nice to have "full" navigation with arrows, Ctrl-A. We should verify if read -e does the trick and if so we can easily have a conditional to use if if available.

Right, I confused the two issues... My bad.

This is a good idea, that is compatible with my proposal in #13.
Even if we can navigate in the comment while typing, we can still want to edit it after typing Enter (spelling mistake, change of mind, Enter pushed too fast...).
