(sort of) hidden feature in AmigaDOS i found!

[Dagon]

or boring

no, that was cool, thanx ;-)

well, ctrl+ \ closes cli (and at least in 3.9 also the wb windows) but I guess most of you already knew it.

Any other tricks?

[Dagon]

did you know that control and @ (control-shift-2) (i think)
displays the current directory?

argh, it doesn`t work here, I tried all possible combinations (I have a UK keyboard here and @ is in the place of " of the US keyboard) nor in a sell with kingcon or VNC_shell.

One thing that I thing is already known to the many but I write it for the ones that haven`t heard of it.

You can drag the icons with the mouse only in vertical or only in horizontal by holding down the right Amiga key.


A very nice commodity is mouseblanker. I get very irritated when I`m in Windows and I write something and because of the mouse pointer I can`t see what I`m writing. Another thing that can be used along with the ctrl+\ is in the FKey the shortcut for changing the selected window.

If you hold down the right Amiga key and you double click an icon it closes the window that contains it.
That way you can browse your hd wihout doing all the time open-close, open-close or letting windows opened that you don`t use.

I was on the google newsgroup and I found this ancient message. (before OS3.5)

Open GUI drawer from the CLI?
What I want is to be able to open the Amiga-OS icon window of the directory I'm currently sitting in rather than having to start from the top of my hard drive and dive down to where I am in my cli window.

Anyone know of anything that does this?

So if someone has AmigaOS >= 3.5 can use my little program that uses that functionality of the WB.
