Windows command box shell tips

After so many years with the Windows command line shell, I still learn new stuff every now and then :-)

Today a collegue showed me a feature similar to bash ctrl+R for recalling commands, instead of using up and down arrow:

1. Type a bit of the command that you know you have used just a while back
2. Toggle through the commands with F8 ... nice :-)

While I am here, I want to remind myself:

• Enable quickedit mode in cmd box options tab: [v] QuickEdit Mode
• Increase Screen Buffer Size, Height: 9999
• Use doskey /history to get the last commands
