Command History Window

You can view the command history in a scrollable popup window, and select the command to re-execute or modify from those displayed in the window. The directory history window includes a toolbar with buttons for editing, deleting, and moving lines.

To activate the command history window press PgUp or PgDn at the command line. A window will appear in the upper right corner of the screen, with the command you most recently executed marked with a highlight. (If you just finished re-executing a command from the history, then the next command in sequence will be highlighted.)

You can view a "filtered" history window by typing some characters on the command line, then pressing PgUp or PgDn. Only those commands matching the typed characters will be displayed in the window.

Command History Window Keys:

Note: The keystrokes shown above are the default values. See Key Mapping Directives for details on how to assign different keystrokes.

Once you have selected a command in the history window, press Enter or double-click with the mouse to execute it immediately. Press Ctrl-Enter or hold down the Ctrl key while you double-click with the mouse to move the line to the prompt for editing (you cannot edit the line directly in the history window).

You can control the position and size of the history window with the corresponding items on the Windows tab of the configuration dialogs. You can also change the keys used in the window with key mapping directives.
