(sort of) hidden feature in AmigaDOS i found!
« on: January 27, 2003, 01:44:16 AM »
 :-) not much, only somthing trivial:
did you know that control and @ (control-shift-2) (i think)
displays the current directory?
i think this works by the amigados command parser relising this is not the name of a command and therefore loads the command CD which treats it as not being an argument - hence, just like typing CD with no argument shows the current directory
cool, huh? or boring? or did you all know it already?
does anyone else know of any other tricks to do in the CLI? or AmigaOS in general?
 :-)

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.

temporarily change your keymap!!  :-)   :-D
its actually ASCII code $00, so see how else you can type that in, there must be a way
