Navigate and Edit Within the Command Window
You can edit text in the command window to correct or repeat commands.
Use the standard keys:
■ Up, Down, Left Arrow, and Right Arrow
■ Insert, Delete
■ Page Up, Page Down
■ Home, End
■ Backspace
You can repeat any command used in the current session by cycling through
the commands in the command window with Up ArrowCtrl and Down Arrow
and pressing Enter. By default, pressing Ctrl+C copies highlighted text to the
Clipboard. Pressing Ctrl+V pastes text from the Clipboard to the text window
or the command window.
If you right-click in the command window or text window, a shortcut menu
is displayed from which you can access the six most recently used commands,
copy selected text or the entire command history, paste text, and access the
Options dialog box.
For most commands, a command line with two or three lines of previous
prompts, called the command history, is sufficient for viewing and editing.
To see more than one line of command history, you can scroll through the
history or resize the command window by dragging its border. For commands
with text output, such as LIST, you might need a larger command window,
or you can press F2 to use the text window.
Use the Text Window
The text window is a window similar to the command window in which you
can enter commands and view prompts and messages. The text window
displays a complete command history for the current work session. Use the
text window to view lengthy output of commands such as LIST, which displays
detailed information about objects you select. To move forward and backward
in the command history, you can click the scroll arrows along the right edge
of the window.
Press SHIFT with a key to highlight text. For example, press SHIFT+HOME in
the text window to highlight all text from the cursor location to the beginning
of the line.
