List : Highlight and Scroll to copy

[tcpulley]

How do I highlight text and scroll so I can copy more that what's displayed on the screen? List used to support this. Previously, if you left-clicked and moved the mouse to the bottom of the window it would scroll and highlight. This no longer happens. If I try to highlight and scroll up the List display scrolls down and what you get is the content of the TCC Window before you ran the list command.

Here's what I got when I tried to scroll up while highlighting in the list window.
The output of a DIR command and the command prompt to run LIST (blue). The LIST header (red) and the LIST window content (green).

xmlTextWriter.Close( );

}


Is there any work-around for this short of running notepad? Is there any chance this behavior will changed? I kinda liked the way LIST used to work.

I don't recall that ever working. I just tried with 4NT v4 and it doesn't work there.

LIST in TCC has never supported this.

In some pre-v9 version of Take Command, perhaps? (Guessing.)

At least that sounds feasible. It would seem quite difficult to integrate the
Windows console drag-select-auto-scroll mechanism with something like LIST.

OK. I assumed (yeah I know) that the command window in version 11 was the same as the GUI TakeCommand Window (versions 2- 8). I'm a long-term customer. I started out with 4DOS and 4NT but abandoned them for the GUI console, TakeCommand. The GUI command window supported it and personally I miss this functionality.

Rex, please consider this an enhancement request.

Yes. Versions of TakeCommand prior to 9 (I never used v9) supported this behavior. It's very useful. Not sure about 4NTbehavior. I stopped using that when TakeCommand was released.
