Command history

Every command you type is saved for that character. A blank tab keeps its own list. History is still there after you quit and reopen Veilrunner.

• Up to 500 commands are kept per character.
• Repeating the last command doesn't add it again.

↑ / ↓

On an empty command line, ↑ and ↓ step through every earlier command.

Prefix history

Type the start of a command first. Then ↑ steps only through earlier commands that begin with that text, newest first.

• Upper and lower case are ignored, and duplicates are skipped.
• ↓ moves back toward newer matches. One ↓ past the newest match puts back exactly what you typed.
• Esc while stepping also puts back what you typed.
• If you edit a recalled line, the next ↑ searches again using the edited text.
• If nothing starts with your text, ↑ leaves the line alone.

⌃R: search your history

Press ⌃R, or choose Session › Search Command History…. A search box opens above the command line.

1. Type part of a command. It can match anywhere in the command, and the newest match is highlighted.
2. Press ⌃R again or ↑ for older matches, and ↓ for newer ones.
3. Press Enter (or click) to put the match on the command line without sending it. Press Esc or Cancel to close the box.

Privacy

These are never saved to history:

• anything typed while the MUD hides your input, such as at a password prompt
• any line equal to a saved password

History is included in File › Back Up Everything….

Examples

↑ on an empty line            previous command
type cast, ↑                  newest command starting with "cast"
type cast, ↑, ↑               the next older "cast…" command
type CAST, ↑                  same matches; case doesn't matter
type cast, ↑, ↓               back to "cast", exactly as you typed it
type kill, ↑, Esc             stop stepping; "kill" is back on the line
type xyz, ↑                   no match; the line is unchanged
⌃R, type rat, Enter           newest command containing "rat" anywhere
⌃R, then Esc                  close the search; the line is unchanged
