FWIW, I couldn't get the "Save to STDOUT" option to do anything in a simple pipe I put together either: dir | tcedit | sort

This entire thread highlights why I have stubbornly stuck with 'rem' over all the other options in batch files for years. It's the only thing that has never given me trouble, ugly and undesirable as it may be.

If you refer to the Vim installer, I installed it using Chocolatey, which is a Windows quasi-package-management system that automates installation and doesn't prompt you at all about creating batch files. But that's good to know, should I ever go back to installing things the...

Yeah, I renamed the batch file and now things work as expected. Go figure. For those interested, it apparently creates a vim.bat file in the Windows folder too. Sheesh.

Oh wow, I learned something today but still don't understand why it works differently with TakeCommand. I installed vim 9.x using chocolatey, which apparently includes gvim by default. Only it also creates a gvim.bat file in the Windows folder of all things, which looks as follows: I don't know...

I use vim and gvim a lot and came across something weird of late. In particular, I can pipe the output of a command into vim easily enough like the following: That opens vim with the contents of my current directory loaded into a buffer. I can use the very same command with gvim instead in a...

I think I figured it out. For anyone else who runs into this issues, be aware that there might be an issue connecting to an FTP server that supports both regular FTP and SFTP. Every other FTP client I use will work via a regular FTP connection or an SFTP connection, but I can't get TakeCommand...

Yes, I should have mentioned that. I also should have mentioned that the error I get is "TCC: FTP protocol error: 530 Login incorrect." followed by the name of the URL if I'm using the full-blown thing. If I simply use the alias, all I get is TCC: [11001] Host not found "alias"

I might not be doing something right, but I can't seem to get the FTP.CFG file to work as specified in the documentation. I've added my FTP site to it in the format specified: If I execute a dir command as follows it works: But when I use the following it doesn't: Or really any variant...

Coming back to this thread almost a year later, I can provide an interesting update. The ENUMSERVERS command still fails miserably, everywhere (i.e., on every network I try), always failing to return any names. However, the ENUMSHARES command now seems to work. I don't know if that's a...

The "ver /r" command shows as follows: TCC 27.01.23 x64 Windows 10 [Version 10.0.19042.985] TCC Build 23 Windows 10 Build 19042 I find it all works nicely if I can tolerate letting TakeCommand have the left Alt key, but that's irritating to me.

Aha! Thanks to the KeyboardStateView utility, I was able to figure out that in Windows the left and right Alt keys can be referenced by numeric codes 164 and 165 respectively. Armed with that fact, keystack let me achieve what I was after with the following command: keystack 165-O Down...

How does one keystack the right Alt key as opposed to just the Alt key, which appears by default to be the left?

I often use the OPTION command to open the TCC options dialog for new tabs, but is there any way to open the TakeCommand options dialog from the command line as well? It's the one that you get when you click the first icon on the "Options" ribbon, which has "Windows", "Tabs", "Advanced", and...

Aha! Now we are getting somewhere. All these years into using TakeCommand (since v1.x when I migrated from 4DOS), and I never realized I could control which of those let's-invoke-the-Windows-menuing-system keys were allocated to the command-line editor code versus the application-level code...
