16.9 Execute mode

The Listener is actually a special type of editor window, which is run in a mode known as execute mode . This means that, as well as the normal keyboard commands available to the editor, a number of additional commands are available which are especially useful when working with an interactive prompt. Some of the commands available are as follows:

    Press Esc P or Ctrl+C Ctrl+P to display the previous event on the history list.

    Press Esc N or Ctrl+C Ctrl+N to display the next event on the history list (this is not available if you are at the end of the history list).

    Press Esc R or Ctrl+C Ctrl+R to perform a search of the history list.

These commands are very useful when you are repeating a series of similar commands several times.

For more details about other keyboard commands available in the editor, see The Editor, and the Editor User Guide .
