I believe the docs (and the community in general) would benefit a lot from having some basic guidelines on how to use the standard readline module with Rich. It's a single import after all.

What problem does it solve for you?

Without readline (weird stuff are the result of arrow keys):

With readline:

How would you improve Rich?

It turns out there's no need to change a single line in Rich, just mention it in the docs (such as here):

from rich.console import Console
import readline  # just add this
console = Console()
console.input("What is [i]your[/i] [bold red]name[/]? :smiley: ")

The reason I think it is useful is because

1. it might not be known by beginners (I didn't!)
2. it's nowhere to be found in the docs
3. it's dead easy (just import readline)
4. similar stuff seems to have been requested before (e.g. [REQUEST] Cycle through Prompt's choices #306), but without any definite answer
