invoking Command line list under panels

Post by *s4t »

TC has a command line at the bottom where all the previous commands are collected. But how to invoke it by some unknown keyboard shortcut and navigate with the keyboard arrow keys? Same way as we do in the panes or when call the List of favorite directories (Ctrl+D).

I can only make this list visible with the mouse...

Ctrl-Down / Alt-F8.

You can also cycle through the saved command lines with Ctrl+E

Thanks, that i know but rarely use lately because the list is growing and growing and you start to expect from it same behavior like from Ctrl+D list or on regular panels navigation. Would be great to add

Alt+F8 opens a linear list, while Ctrl+D opens a menu with its own submenus and predefined items. History is devoid of predestination. How do you imagine an analogue of the drectory hotlist in this case?

I don't see the difference. There's the same drop-down list itself, only the behavior of the first Ctrl+Down press is different.

That menu list opened with Alt+F8 was what i needed in addition to Ctrl+E i used.

While Hacker wrote his message such confusing way --- he suggested Ctrl-Down / Alt-F8 --- that you may understand as push Ctrl down and hit Alt+F8 !!!) :oops: :oops: :oops: .
Which in Linux (and may be Windows too?) blacks the screen and only one kind of unusual (not Ctrl+Alt+F7) key combination can unlock it or PC reboot which i was forced to after 15 min of trying everything seeing just the black screen

And thanks for Ctrl+Down ( = Alt+F8 ) hint for Double Commander

/ = OR, not AND. It has always been so. :D

Sorry for that. Wouldn't have guessed you'd both press all the keys at the same time and be on Linux. Ctrl-Alt-F1 should return you to the default console (GUI session), unless your flavor of Linux is configured otherwise (some are configured with Ctrl-Alt-F7, which you mention). If even that does not work, you can try Ctrl-Alt-F1 up to F12. If that does not help, either, you'd have to google, I am afraid.
