Command line: keys



If Windows Commander is active, nearly all keyboard

input is directed to the command line.

Here the layout for some keys:





ENTER       The command line is executed, if it 

            contains at least one character (otherwise,

            the program under the cursor in the source

            window is started). If the command is cd,

            md or rd, it is executed internally. If it

            is an internal DOS command, DOS will be 

            executed with this command. Otherwise, a

            program with the given name is executed.

SHIFT-ENTER Like ENTER, but with preceding command /c.

            After the called DOS program is terminated,

            its window is not automatically closed. This

            will only work if the file noclose.pif is in

            your windows directory.

CTRL-ENTER  The file under the cursor in the source 

            directory is appended to the command line.

CTRL-SHIFT-ENTER

            The file under the cursor including its path

            is appended to the command line.

CTRL-CURSORDOWN

or ALT+F8   A list with the latest command lines (history-

            list) is opened. Hold down the CTRL key and 

            use the up and down cursor keys to select an

            entry. By pressing the left or right key, you

            can edit the command line. This automatically

            closes the list.



TAB         Puts the cursor back to the source directory.

Cursor keys Cursor left and cursor right move the cursor

            through the command line, even if the cursor

            was in the source directory before. If brief

            was selected, these keys move the cursor

            through the source directory. You then have to

            hold down SHIFT to move it inside the command

            line.

            Cursor up and cursor down move the cursor bar

            inside the source window, even if it was inside

            the command line.

ESC,CTRL+Y  Clears the command line.

CTRL+E      Copy previous command to command line

CTRL+K      Delete to end of line

CTRL+W      Delete word to the left of the cursor

CTRL+T      Delete word to the right of the cursor
