Adds an additional mode to the julia REPL accessable by pressing `:` that allows easy evalution of code inside a given module.

EvalInModuleREPLMode.jl

Adds an additional mode to the julia REPL accessable by pressing : that allows easy evalution of code inside a given module.

Installation

Pkg.add(url="https://github.com/tehrengruber/EvalInModuleREPLMode.git")

Example

Consider that you have defined a module like this:

module Foo end

Press : inside the REPL to switch the mode. Afterwards enter the module you want to evaluate your code in, which is in this case Foo. Confirm by pressing enter again and proceed with pasting your code.

julia> module Foo end
eval in module: Foo
Foo> a=1
println(Foo.a)

Note that in case you press : and confirm with enter without actually typing a module the module used in the previous execution will be used.
