CLI Utility

[ChaosLord]

Back in the day, I had a wonderful little utility that made using the CLI (or Shell) much easier.  It let you redo previous lines, cut & paste text, and edit the line currently being typed, so you could quickly add a missing character by moving the cursor

This utility is called Shell and it lives on your Workbench.  Double-click its icon to start it.  It has all the features listed above.

using the mouse instead of retyping the whole command.

Shell does not allow moving the cursor with the mouse.  But u can move the cursor with the (surprise! :eek:) cursor keys to edit the line without deleting everything. :banana:

Only problem is that I can't remember what this was called.  Do these features ring a bell with anyone?

I redo previous lines, use the mouse to copy & paste text and edit the line currently being typed all day long every day for many years using the Amiga Shell.

I tried KingCon but it thrashes my memory and is quite a bit slower than the regular shell.  There were other disadvantages too.

But if u like it then more power 2 u
