Command Line Problem
|
Hi
I wonder if anyone can help me out here. I've had a rummage through the forums but can't seem to find anything that helps.
My problem is this: I need to be able to change the default 'up arrow' key (which puts the last entered command back onto the command line) to a different key. Is it possible to change the key that does this?
My reason is I have purchased a numberpad to go with my laptop so I can move around on my mud. If I put the numlock key ON and map the directions to the numberpad, if I try to type any words, the letters U,I,O,J,K,L,M will only print numbers and not the letters as I would like.
At the moment I have my numlock OFF and have mapped the directions to the keys on my numpad (Home, PgUp, PgDn, etc). This works fine except if I use the 'up arrow' key on my main laptop keyboard, when I am wanting to recall a command I just typed to the command line, I end up moving North. I am clicking on the arrow at the left hand side of the command line at the moment and selecting the last command but would relish being able to use a key, to save me having to scrabble for my mouse at an inopportune moment such as dying rather horribly in combat [:0]
I hope this makes some sort of sense to somebody and if anyone could help me out, I would be extremely grateful.
Many thanks |

Make a macro for the up arrow?
#KEY UP {#SHOW up arrow key} {} {nosend} |

Hi
Sorry, but that didn't work. I need to see my last command appear back on the command line (not sent to the mud) in the same way using the up arrow on the keyboard does. Sadly your suggestion also took over the up arrow key on my laptop numberpad, stopping me being able to move north.
Can I use a different key or combination of keys (eg Shift+UpArrow) to bring the last executed command back onto the command line.
Many thanks  |
