ALT+F8 hotkey internal command? or Ctrl+Down

[igarny]

Hi guys,

Please excuse the stupid question, but I am not able to figure out the command. which stands behind the ALT+F8 combination.
It is not listed in the common places ... on my computer

I even tried @Petermad's language menu: https://www.ghisler.ch/board/viewtopic.php?t=33740 without any luck
I would kindly suggest @Petermad, if possible to list all the default hotkey assignments in the menu list, if it is indeed the case, that there are keys, which are not listed anywhere.

Regards,
Ivan

Its all described, what about a look into the TC Help Keyboard ?
ALT+F8 Opens the history list of the command line

Horst.Epp,
The question is about the internal command.

See here and here.

Err... Thanks @Fla$her... for the references...

Do we have any idea, what function (internal command) stands behind any of these ALT+F8 or Ctrl+Down?

[Fla$her]

What ideas can there be if topics with a command request were proposed (among other things)?
Not all hotkeys have their equivalent in the list of internal commands, including this one.

I believe these are questions to the developer.
Apparently there is a need for a more detailed (advanced users facing) documentation OR there might be some miss/flaw in the design.
As it appears the functionality is there, but for example it is not modularized and therefor cannot be referenced / called directly.

I suppose from a users point of view a list of all these issues can be published on a blog post in attempt to help new commers to understand in advance what challenges they would face.
IMO it would be useful for people tempted to switch from DC to TC, but looking to understand the flaws under the hood.

The rest will be done by the Internet robots and indexers.
Thanks!

I think this reasoning is meaningless. There are a couple dozen hotkeys that have no 100% analogues among the internal commands. If the author wants to do it, he will do it. It's not a question of design, it's a question of need.

Alt+F8 sends directly a CB_SHOWDROPDOWN message to the combobox, which opens the list section of the combobox.
Ctrl+Down behaves differently whether the command line has the focus or not:
1. If it has the focus, Ctrl+Down behaves the same as Alt+F8
2. If it does not have the focus, Ctrl+Down focuses the command line and loads the last used command via CB_SETCURSEL
