Ever since I started using Ubuntu, I began liking the terminal. I got used to many keyboard shortcuts that make my experience a lot more enjoyable. Now, my current job requires me to use Command Prompt in Windows. No biggy, I like the terminal.

I figured it would be the same thing as in Ubuntu, but as I pressed Ctrl + l ( clears the screen ) …

C:\^L^L^L

I pressed it a lot of times…. I panicked! I told myself to relax and try something else so I pressed Ctrl + p and Ctrl + n ( previous and next command )…

C:\^N^P^N^N^N^N^N

” I can’t work like this! “, I said to myself. So I tried to find an alternative , but I didn’t find any. Luckily, I found the tools to create this alternative.

Using AutoHotkey I was able to create the proper bindings so that Command Prompt acted the way I wanted to.

Do not conform people. Anyways below or the links to the source and executable. If you choose to download the executable, no installation is needed. All you have to do is run the program and it starts running in the background. I would suggest putting this puppy in the startup folder. Otherwise, if you get the source, you will need to install AutoHotkey. As always suggestions are highly encouraged. Enjoy

Binding’s List:

• ctrl+l : clears screen
• ctrl+p : shows previous typed command
• ctrl+n : shows next typed command
• ctrl+r : has the same effect as F8, partially type a command in your command history and press F8 and the rest of the command will be entered for you. I know I like it too.
• ctrl+shift+v : Simply pastes whatever was in the clipboard. Credit Given to: Huw Walters
• ctrl+shift+c : Initiates ‘mark’ so that you can select and copy to clipboard
• ctrl+d : exits Command Prompt

This is the first entry to the new home of my other blog. I pretty much plan on doing the same thing as in the other blog, but you should go to this one it is more badass looking. I’m very tired at the moment. I’ll probably post something new this week.
