If you have already typed out some long command previously to avoid typing it out again open a terminal a press Ctrl + r keys - this will allow you to search for key words in you terminal command history - pressing Ctrl + r again will keep going back through the results. |

Maybe this is not really a tip as such - but I recently discovered that the "prtsc" key on my keyboard works in Slacko. In other puppies I have tried this key just did nothing - I normally have to go into the graphics menu and look for a screenshot function. Probably there are some other puppies with working prtsc keys too? Worth a try. It is such a handy function. EDIT: Prtsc key also works out of the box on: - SolidPup 5.1.1TINT2 http://www.smokey01.com/Tman/SolidPup511/SolidPup511-Tint2.iso - Saluki http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=73687 ..and further down this thread check out Monsie's comment about making the prtsc key work in other puppies... .

The same 7 inch paper clip I use to open cd/dvd drives makes a good temporary antenna for dtv tuner or converter boxes. The price is quite reasonable.

It turns out that the "PrtScr" key will work in other Puppies, and in conjunction with mtPaint too... --speaking of mtPaint.
First, see the post by jamesbond in the fatdog thread over here which explains the issue with the keycodes for this dual purpose key, and how to fix it. Then, -->./jwm (hidden directory) and edit jwmrc-personal to include the following line in the <!-- Key bindings --> section:
This same line can be added to jwmrc-personal2 as I believe it pertains to running a second and/or multiple desktops, but am not 100% sure on this... maybe someone can clarify the purpose of having the second file. I have this (PrtScr) working in Wary Puppy 5.3 Monsie _________________ My username is pronounced: "mun-see". Derived from my surname, it was my nickname throughout high school. |

stu90, Recently, I discovered (accidentally) another way to get at my command history in the terminal... and that is to use the "arrow-up" ↑ key while I have the terminal open. It functions sort of like a Backspace key (like when I want to go to previously viewed web pages) as it cycles backward one command at a time until I get to where and what I want. Once I've started cycling through my history, then I can use the "arrow-down" ↓ key to move forward again if need be.This is also useful for pasting in previously used commands within a session --especially if I do not have a middle button on my mouse. I haven't seen this mentioned yet, but I'm sure it must be documented somewhere.... Monsie _________________ My username is pronounced: "mun-see".

darkcity, I think the tips from stu90 and myself about accessing the terminal command history are useful bits of info that could be included in your How To section re: the Command Line. That said, I don't know the protocol regarding making entries on your page, deciding exactly what goes on it, etc. Monsie _________________ My username is pronounced: "mun-see".

Double pressing the tab key in terminal or command prompt will display all the commands in linux. Not sure, please correct me.
