KingCON v1.2 (22.03.94) ======================= New features: ------------- * Default options can be saved in an environment variable. * Added new selection-methods that don't involve opening a window when several files match during filename-completion. This is configured with the FNCMODE-option. * The memory for the review-buffer can be static if you specify a negative value after MAXBUF. * An extra gadget in the titlebar lets you iconify the window quickly using the mouse. The image comes from MUI by Stefan Stuntz. * The review-buffer has gone through some cosmetic changes, making it look better when you scroll through it. * You can now insert the current directory, process number etc in the titlebar by using substitution-strings, like the AmigaDOS Prompt-command. * A custom icon, to use when the console is iconified, can be defined with the IMAGE-option. An exact position on the screen can be specified with ICONPOS/. * The title for the icon can be specified with ICONTITLE. * MENUFY-option to create a menuitem in the Tools-menu when the window is iconified. * KEEPCLOSED-option to prevent the window from opening if text is ouput to the console while it is iconified. * FASTUPDATE-option for increasing the speed of the review-buffer. Especially useful for 68000-owners. It works by simply updating the scrollbar more seldom. * POPSCREEN-option to bring the screen, on which the window is opened, to front. * New editing- and manouveringkeys: Control-Left Arrow - Moves to the previous part of a filename. Control-Right Arrow - Moves to the next part of a filename. Control-Up Arrow - Moves up one line in the review. Control-Down Arrow - Moves down one line in the review. Control-Backspace - Deletes a part of a filename to the left. Control-Delete - Deletes a part of a filename to the right. * New menu-shortcuts: Amiga-J - Enable/disable jump-scroll. Amiga-. - Show/hide .info-files. Amiga-W - Enable/disable review-buffer. * When completing a filename and no files match your pattern, the devicelist is searched automatically, (just as if you had pressed Shift-TAB). * When you Maximize a window, it doesn't cover the first raster line of the screen, so you easily can drag it with the mouse. Things that should have been in earlier versions: ------------------------------------------------- * RAW: works now. * The console doesn't hang if you have v36 of diskfont.library. KingCON can even run if some disk-based libraried are missing, but some features will be disabled. * The filename-completion doesn't keep any directory-locks. * KingCON doesn't crash when trying to open its window on SID2. * The window is activated when you drop an icon on it. * WINDOW-option accepts 0x in front of the address like CON: * SCREEN-option recognises * as the top screen like CON: does. * Stored command-lines are printed before they are executed when you have specified asynchronous typeahead. * Failing to complete a filename doesn't produce a NULL-character on the command-line. * Wildcards can be used when completing device-names. * The path in the window-title doesn't mysteriously disappear. * KingCON understands which process to signal better. * SetKeyMap works in a KingCON-window. * The correct font is always used when opening a window on a public screen. * The ARexx-commands Queue, Push and Lines can now be used in a KingCON-window. They all use some of the many undocumented features of CON:. For example, WaitForChar() returns the number of lines in the console's internal readbuffer in IoErr(). * Lots of other things that you probably never noticed. KingCON v1.1 (15.12.93) ======================= New features: ------------- * Some more edition functions were added: Shift-BS - Deletes the line to the left. Shift-Del - Deletes the line to the right. Alt-BS - Deletes a word to the left. Alt-Del - Deletes a word to the right Amiga-Del - Deletes a whole word. Shift-RETURN - The current command-line is saved to the history-buffer, but it isn't executed. * The ALT-option allows you to specify the zoom-size more precisely than MINI. * Asynchronous typeahead is possible with the ASYNC-option. * When a filename with spaces is in it is selected with filename- completion, leading and trailing quotationmarks are added. * You can now drop Workbench icons in the console window to insert their filenames in the command line. * The console window can be iconified and put on the Workbench as an AppIcon. This replaces the Minimize-function. * AmigaDOS wildcards can be used when completing filenames. * The current directory is shown in the titlebar if you specify the SHOWDIR-option. * The review-buffer's maximum size can be set with the MAXBUF-option. Features that should have been in v1.0: --------------------------------------- * The 68000-version doesn't contain any 68020-compiled code... * The console doesn't freeze randomly in RAW-mode. * Keymaps with multiple-character keys are understood properly. * The ASL-requester no longer generates Enforcer-hits. * It is possible to use Amiga-V for pasting in RAW-mode. * The window's title can now contain ':'. * The '['-character is visible in the review-buffer. * The review-buffer understands CR better. * In addition to this, some minor bugs were fixed in the command-line editing and the scrollgadget.
