This is really great! The tui is very intuitive and the auto-complete a great addition.

It even highlights keys and values differently: https://i.imgur.com/mrOMBUi.png

It also handles redis server weirdness as well by faithfully relaying error messages.

I haven't explored the tool too deeply but would it be possible to get keys from redis itself to assist with auto-complete?

Hi dpbriggs!

I think it is a good idea to auto fetching the keys (among ohter things like set's members, etc). I wrote some ideas here, it was on the plan!

I installed it with the only hope it would recognize Redis URIs like redis://name:password@host:port/db, unlike redis-cli, which requires me to type each part of the URI separated in different flags I never remember.

Turns out it doesn't, but maybe someone will hear me in the future!

Hi fiatjaf，

This feature has been implemented and released on v1.2, please give it a try!

Also, you can store dsn alias on config, check it out: https://github.com/laixintao/iredis#using-dsn

Great, iredis --url will save my life, thank you!

Hi! Will add this feature.

Also, a new feature called alias_dsn was on the way.

I just took a peek in the code to make sure it didn't use the "keys" command. I see you give a warning for a list of dangerous commands. Good thinking!

Yes currently iredis won't send any command secretly, behave like redis-cli. The completion is based on history.

That looks great! I guess it can support other DB from its base.

Yes, have look at the project page: iredis.io/

You may also like https://www.dbcli.com/ (actually iredis is joining dbcli)
