Command History Window

Command History Window Keys:

PgUp	(from the command line) Open the command history window.
or PgDn
UpArrow	Scroll the display up one line.
DownArrow	Scroll the display down one line.
LeftArrow	Scroll the display left 4 columns.
RightArrow	Scroll the display right 4 columns.
PgUp	(inside the window) Scroll the display up one page.
PgDn	(inside the window) Scroll the display down one page.
Ctrl-PgUp	Go to the beginning of the history list.
or Home
Ctrl-PgDn	Go to the end of the history list.
or End
Ctrl-D	Delete the selected line from the history list.
Enter	Execute the selected line.
Ctrl-Enter	Move the selected line to the command line for editing.

You can view the command history in a scrollable command history window, and select the command to modify or re-execute from those displayed in the window. To activate the command history window press PgUp or PgDn at the command line. A window will appear in the upper right corner of the screen, with the command you most recently executed marked with a highlight. (If you just finished re-executing a command from the history, then the next command in sequence will be highlighted.)

The display is not circular as it is at the prompt; it has a fixed beginning and end. The Ctrl-D (delete from history) key works within the history window as it does at the command line.

Once you have selected a command in the history window, press Enter to execute it immediately, or Ctrl-Enter to move the line to the prompt for editing (you cannot edit the line directly in the history window).

You can bring up a “filtered” history window by typing some characters on the command line, then pressing PgUp or PgDn. Only those commands matching the typed characters will be displayed in the window.
