Hi Martin

Just as a general suggestion, it would be good to have an alternative set of keys combinations to the Functions keys (F1, F2...etc) since it seem that the PC market is little by little discontinuing those keys from the keyboards. So, even if we like F keys it is also good to set some alternative shortcuts on the software.

Regards

I have uploaded a new version 0.61 of MeShell


* ANSI-ESC Colors partially rewritten
* Changing the text and background color of stderr (also via popup menu right mouse button, options)
* Pressing Ctrl when double clicking to file names copies the file name to the cursor position behind the prompt
* minor bugfixes.
GCC users please run with -fdiagnostics-color=always and compare the color output with the original VIO window. Thank you.

Martin Vieregg:
Again I have uploaded a new version 0.62 of MeShell

I could fix several bugs, all concerning colors and the order of stdout and stderr. If you use MeShell for colored compiler output and similar things, please update.

4os2 (meshell commandline parameter /4os2) shows colored prompts, but not colored output for e.g. "dir". I assume it is the same mechanism described here. In GCC, you have to enter a specific parameter to turn on colored redirected output. By default, redirected output is shown without colors. I hoped to find a setting for 4os2, but did not find it. Two questions:

1. Does anyone know how to turn on colored output in 4os2 when output is redirected?

2. If no, who is responsible for the 4os2 code ? Implementing such a setting would be quite easy, because only a feature has to be turned off.

Dave Yeo:
4OS2 lives at http://trac.netlabs.org/4os2 where you can file an issue as well as download the source to find out how it does colours and maybe come up with a patch.
Edit, A perforce client should be on Hobbes, perhaps https://hobbes.nmsu.edu/download/pub/os2/dev/util/perforce20022.zip for source checkout.

Martin Vieregg:
Thank you Dave. But I have no idea how to register to send a ticket.
