  • Drop to OS

    From Marc Lewis@1:396/45 to All on Wed May 28 05:37:02 2025

    Hello everybody!

    Is there any way to have an option to drop to the OS from within GoldEd?

    At least in FreeBSD the "O" sends you to shell.

    # grep -i shell goldkeys.cfg
    ;@O AREAdosshell
    ;@O EDITdosshell
    ;@O FILEdosshell
    ;@O LISTdosshell
    ;@O NODEdosshell
    ;O READdosshell
    ;@O READdosshell
    ;^F10 READdosshell

    As you can see I disabled them all. It's not a useful command on a multitasking OS like Linux and Windows. And I was (probably) annoyed by it when accidentally hitting the O key (but I don't remember ;-))...


    Bye, Wilfred.

    Does Golded need GOLDKEYS=goldkeys.cfg as an environment variable? I didn't have that file. I downloaded it and commented out the shell options however it still opens a shell with O.

    https://github.com/golded-plus/golded-plus/blob/master/cfgs/config/goldkeys.cfg

    Read the Note at line 21. ;-)

    You also need to set 'KEYBDEFAULTS NO' in golded.cfg to disable the defaults.


    Bye, Wilfred.

    It worked! :)

    Btw is there any configuration option to RESCAN all the areas when Golded is already open?
    I tried @S AreaScan but didn't work.

    I use @S all the time. And it works (when you are in the area list).

    Indeed! As I've just discovered, in the OS/2 version Alt+O does drop to the shell. Thank you.
