Hey there. I'm attempting to map CTRL+UP to cycle through the command history, doing exactly what just tapping UP does in MUSHclient natively. I'm unable to find if it's possible to do that, however - the information I can locate on Accelerator tend to be command strings like "heal" or "eat food."

Is it possible to do this with Accelerator? If so, may I ask how?

See:

AcceleratorTo

The documentation for the AcceleratorTo script function is available online. It is also in the MUSHclient help file.

DoCommand

The documentation for the DoCommand script function is available online. It is also in the MUSHclient help file.

So your accelerator line should look like this:


AcceleratorTo ("Ctrl+Up", 'DoCommand ("PreviousCommand")', sendto.script)

That maps Ctrl+Up to "do" the command "PreviousCommand" which is the message that maps the menu item Input -> Previous Command to the command handler for that.

Ah, thank you! Much appreciated.
