That would indicate that if you want to use a command that interacts with a disk/mount it will cycle (or pop up a list) through only disks - if you use a command that needs a screenmode option it can cycle through choices or pop up a screenmode selector. Now that would be an intelligent shell! |

There's a slight difference.
Ctrl-j breaks the lines and executes the commands separately. Just the same as if you executed them one AFTER another "buffered". Run <cmd> + <cmd2> + … executes everything in one go: you'll notice the difference in CON: output history (with KCON for example) and their output will be consecutive. |

Surely if via Shell you are going to stack up numerous lines / commands then you'd put them in a script file and run that?

Anything involving "shell/CLI" is not in that list IMHO. ;-) Yeah, there is the PACE environment for kind of shell work, but it is FAR from anything that people who are used to shells will appreciate... ;-) I know my AS/400 stuff is more than a bit rusty, but I think you have been led somewhere errantly. ;-) desiv |

I sorely miss this in cmd and also somewhat in powershell. I find that I often have to declare functions first and then make my "oneliner" out of the functions I declared beforehand in powershell. |

In AmigaShell it's not even possible to make functions
(though using [] in aliases to some very small degree make up for that) I also don't bother much with temporary scripts in AmigaShell, but rather use lformat, sed, earg and pipes. |

At first, I tried to imitate the look of the OS3.9 prefs as much as possible. Problem is - from a designer's perspective, most OS3.9 ReAction-based prefs are not very beautiful. Sometimes it looks like the gadgets have just been thrown all over the window - ok, I'm exaggerating here.
Also some things are not possible with GadTools or - like font sensitivity - require lots of changes. So we now have another, very classic look for most of the Prefs. Some will like it, some probably not. |

GTlayout.library could be used, I hear the author is still active and reachable

Doesn't need subclasses or complex installation, just triton.library (50KB) in LIBS: and will simplify any GadTools GUI creation. It could be rewritten/modified and included in the OS maybe. Last edited by hexaae; 25 September 2018 at 16:00. |

GTLayout? OpenTriton? IMHO bad ideas, I would like to be able to use preferences programs without installing 3rd party libraries. The OS 3.1.4 team did it the only reasonable way.

OpenTriton is free software under GPL and maybe could become part of the OS. |

In case it wasn't obvious, I mentioned gtlayout.library because it was made by Olaf Barthel, so not exactly third party

Using a gadget toolkit in ROM for basic OS applications is also a strong argument, as it'll save a lot of memory. As a consequence, 3.1.4 will work even with low-end machines, though the memory requirements surpass 3.1 a bit. |

Program1[CTRL+Enter] Program2[CTRL+Enter] Program3[CTRL+Enter] Program4[Enter] Then First runs, exit it if needed then the other one runs, and so on. It's a simple way to use Shell for simple projects. I haven't use "+" at all. I also adore KCON. I remember one day doing something and I pressed and held CTRL for something and went for another key besides Enter and..voila! I wondered, "Whhhhaaat?? It's not......executing ?anything?" and then I entered in another program name after and pressed return. I thought it to be very cool. Not long after that I applied this to other stuff.. AmigaDOS is very good at passing commands to stuff and "buffering" them ready for the next program. Once you get good at it, it can looks like there's a "Ghost in The Machine", haha! I showed it to some people where I lived at the time. Glad to see this post, I had wondered through the years how many others knew about it. With "+" or not. |

Run <cmd> +
<cmd2> + … is different though as explained above. Ctrl+j or Ctrl+Enter is the same. |
