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.

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.
