I've installed a new version of the text olcr client in the consult locker
as "olcr.new" for all of the platforms; it will be appearing tonight after
the consult volume is released.
The major feature is that it now has "lineedit" and history, similar to
tcsh. There is also a new command "zephyr" to control OLCD's use of zephyr
notification, but this will not be useful until the new olcd is installed on
matisse as well. I'd appreciate hearing of any bugs or comments about this.
Thanks!
Here's a complete list of the keys that can be used in editing, btw:
^A, ^E - move to beginnning or end of line, respectively.
^F, ^B - nondestructive move forward or back one location, respectively.
^D - delete the character currently under the cursor
^G - toggle replace (overwrite) mode, initally in insert mode.
^H, DEL - delete character left of the cursor.
^K - delete from cursor to end of line.
^L - redraw the current line.
^P, ^N - move through history, previous and next, respectively.
^T - transpose chars under and to left of cursor
TAB - insert spaces to get to next TAB stop (every 8 spaces)
NL, CR - places line on history list if nonblank and enters the line
arrow keys - appropriate motion
