Popup Windows
Several features of CMD.EXE display popup windows. A popup window may be
used to display filenames, recently-executed commands, recently-used
directories, the results of an extended directory search, or a list
created by the SELECT command or the @SELECT internal function.
Popup windows always display a list of choices and a cursor bar. You can
move the cursor bar inside the window until you find the choice that you
wish to make, then press the Enter key to select that item.
Navigation inside any popup window follows the conventions described
below. Additional information on each specific type of popup window is
provided when that window is introduced in the online help.
You can control the color, position and size of most popup windows from
the Command Line 2 page of the OPTION dialogs. You can also control these
features with directives in the .INI file, including PopupWinLeft,
PopupWinTop, PopupWinWidth, and PopupWinHeight, and PopupWinColors. A few
popup windows (e.g., the extended directory search window) have their own
specific .INI directives, and corresponding separate choices in the OPTION
command. You can also change the keys used in most popup windows with key
mapping directives in CMD.INI.
Once a window is open, you can use these navigation keys to find the
selection you wish to make:
^ Move the selection bar up one line.
v Move the selection bar down one line.
Scroll the display left 4 columns.
> Scroll the display right 4 columns.
PgUp Scroll the display up one page.
PgDn Scroll the display down one page.
Ctrl-PgUp Go to the beginning of the list.
or Home
Ctrl-PgDn Go to the end of the list.
or End
Esc Close the window without making a selection.
Enter Select the current item and close the window.
In addition to scrolling through a popup window, you can search the list
using character matching. If you press a character, the cursor bar will
move to the next entry that begins with that character. If you type
multiple characters, the cursor will move to the entry that begins with
the search string entered to that point (you can enter a search string up
to 32 characters long). If no entry matches the character or string that
you have typed, the command processor beeps and does not move the cursor
bar. To reset the search string, press Backspace.
You can change the keys used in popup windows with key mapping directives
in CMD.INI file.
