How to use the navigation keys in tcl debugger?

chetan somana

xrun -tcl <file_name.sv>

The above command should compile, elaborate, and stop simulation at 0 in command line mode.

At this point we can setup the breakpoints and perform other features of debugger.

So naturally to save time, I wish to use the previous commands by navigation keys. on pressing the navigation keys they are being translated to " ^[[A^[[D^[[C^[[B "

Strangely when i use xrun -gui <file_name.sv> the navigation keys are working in the gui console.

    Adding -e has solved my problem. You can refer further reading the documentation provided below.
