How to use as a replacement for the C# Interactive tool in JetBrains Rider? #390

Description

Feature Description

I would like to use this excellent C# REPL as a replacement for the C# Interactive tool in JetBrains Rider.

The idea with this issue is to get some documentation on how to use this tool in Rider to make it for myself and others to use csharprepl directly in Rider. If this is currently not possible, I would be happy to lend a hand in getting any changes developed.

What I have tried

Pointing Rider to the exe of csharprepl in the settings:

I can then open a C# Interactive session from within Rider and it will run csharprepl:

Issues

While Rider does manage to run csharprepl without any errors, nothing actually happens when I try to use it:

The intellisense feature actually works but I'm not sure if that is csharprepl's intellisense or Rider's:

Workaround

Open a terminal Rider and run the csharprepl tool directly:
