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 A list with the latest command lines (history-list) is opened. Hold down ALT+F8 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 or Cursor Keys Puts the cursor back to the source directory. 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 or CTRL+Y Clears the command line CTRL+C (32 bit) Copy selected text to clipboard CTRL+X (32 bit) Cut selected text to clipboard CTRL+V (32 bit) Paste text from clipboard 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
