Thanks Terry, it perfectly make sense.

> I intend to open an issue about separating the prompt from statement entry to remove the latter.

Do you mean, by putting the ">>>" in a separated "physical" / "fixed-width" column left to the statements? It would solve the issue, and I don't know if there's other ways to do so.

Oh there's another: Not using a ">>>" prompt at all, but visually separating inputs and outputs.

I'm realizing Jupyter notebook is doing both: Using a fixed-width column with the prompts, left to the statements AND visually separating inputs and outputs. Not sure we have to do both, what do you think?

I tried to craft something with gimp out of my previous screenshot but it came out really ugly, I'm definitly not a UI designer :(
