git clone https://github.com/aeshell/aesh-readline.git

git checkout 1.9

apply following patch to examples/src/main/java/examples/Example.java : https://pastebin.com/FRbDa4FN

mvn clean install

java -jar target/readline-examples-1.9.jar

Once the example is started

type some input, such as "thisissomeinput"

press the 'home' key

observe that the cursor stops 1 character from the beginning of input. Pressing left arrow key does not move the cursor further to the left

press 'end' key

cursor moves to one space beyond input

rapidly press 'home' and 'end'

the 'boundary' of the cursor will shift by 1 character each time the above sequence is repeated.

I built using the latest 1.9 tag.

When using an empty Prompt (new Prompt(""), the cursor location becomes incorrect if the user uses 'home' key (off by 1).

Possible fixes:
in aesh.readline.Buffer.java, syncCursor method, the following snippet exists:

        if(newPos < 1)
            newPos = 1;

I experimented with changing this to:

        if(newPos < 0)
            newPos = 0;

and this did resolve this particular issue. However, the repercussions of such a change are not apparent to me
