Command Repetition in CIW

You can use the following methods to quickly review, repeat, and/or rerun commands in the CIW:

• To scroll through the previously entered CIW commands, use your keyboard arrow keys.
  That is, if you have directly (text) entered commands into the CIW you can recall them, and then rerun them, using the Up and Down arrow keys, followed by pressing the Enter key.
• To rerun a command that starts with a specified pattern (as per the CIW screenshot above), for example:
  

  236 hiFormCancel(schFormOfEditorOptions)

  enter:

  !hiFo

  This executes the last command whose prefix starts with hiFo in the CIW history.
• To rerun a command that contains a specified pattern, enter:
  

  !?pattern

  For example, if you enter “!?iFo” this searches for commands that contain “iFo”, such as hiFormCancel.
• To rerun the last command entered in the CIW, type:
  

  !!

• To copy and paste a command, double-click to select a word in the CIW output area or triple-click to select a complete command line. Paste that word or line into the CIW input area with either a drag-and-drop action or by using the middle-mouse-button. Optionally, edit the command as required. Press the Return key to action the command.

You can re-size (enlarge) the CIW Command edit area to display more commands that have been entered.
