This is really trivial, not much of a "trick" to it, but quite useful.
If anyone remembers the old "PopCLI" from many years back, you can now
just program the FKey commodity with a line like:
newshell con:50/20/800/800/PopCLI/CLOSE from s:shell-startup
To better take advantage of my wide screen, I have TWO such FKey entries, one for
Left-Amiga + Esc that opens the above window, and another from LeftAlt + Esc that opens the same shell on the right side of the screen. So the shell opens left or right depending on what else I have open when I need a quick shell.
Equally trivial: Add
alias bye endcli
to s:shell-startup and you can close the shell just by typing bye.
Once you get used to opening a shell by keyboard shortcuts, you'll expect it to work on everyones Amiga.. I find it frustrating to work on other peoples Amigas without this key shortcut added.  _________________

Yes. I've used that one since before 3.5 was released.Last edited by Thematic on 14-Aug-2012 at 08:44 PM.

Only problem with my tool is that it expects 24/7 runtime since it only logs on bootup. So if you only use your machine 1-2 hour a day and you always switch it off when it crashes you still get an average uptime of a day. I guess that's why I didn't release it. I might rethink. _________________
