Command: doskey
In some versions of DOS, DOSKEY extends the basic keyboard
functionality of the command line interpreter.
There is no need for DOSKEY in FreeDOS, which has such
features built into the command interpreter.
Syntax:
- none -
Options:
UP key recalls the history
DOWN key recalls the history
LEFT key to navigate within the command line
RIGHT key to navigate within the command line
END key to navigate within the command line
HOME key to navigate within the command line
INSERT key toggle between overstrike and insert mode
TAB key completes the current word as filename
TAB key 2x shows all matching files
Comments:
The external DOSKEY utility had been incorporated into FreeCOM.
Use cursor UP, and DOWN keys to recall the history and HISTORY to
display it. Use cursor LEFT, and Right and the END and HOME keys to
navigate within the command line and toggle INSERT between overstrike
and insert mode. Use the TAB key to complete the current word as
filename; use it twice to show all matching files.
DOSKEY is a command internal to command.com and needs no other file
in order to work.
Examples:
- none - simply test the described keys.
