How to repeat your last entry/command/typing?
 
a) is there a command similar to DOS/F3, where it repeats your last typing/entry?
b) is there a program/function key where one can customize common typings so to minimize key strokes, e.g. sudo gainroot, exit, cat /proc/partitions, free, /media/mmc1....etc
c) if NO to the above, will osso-statusbar-cpu which has a command feature, be customized for the above purpose?

If all NO to the above, how does one enter repetitive entries either during tablet use or xterm use?


TIA,

bun

Press d-pad up to cycle through the history.

Code:
alias <shortcut>="<command>"
For example:

Code:
alias cdl="cd $1;ls -al"

Install bash, then you will be able to do the "bang bang" ( http://www.csee.umbc.edu/courses/und...lec06/01.shtml )

Bash is a good shell replacement for the minimal included ash, which does not support aliases. You can find bash for OS2007/OS2008 at my site:
http://www.makikiweb.com/n800/downlo...1.17.armel.deb

Download to your n800, then after becoming root (with sudo gainroot) type:
dpkg -i bash_alone-3.1.17.armel.deb

After the install, just type bash on the prompt, and you are ready to go with bangs and aliases!

Er, mind explaining this, then?

Code:
BusyBox v1.6.1 (2007-09-27 18:08:59 EEST) Built-in shell (ash)
Enter 'help' for a list of built-in commands.

Nokia-N800-50-2:~# alias cdl="cd $1;ls -al"
Nokia-N800-50-2:~# cdl /home/   
drwxr-xr-x    3 root    root            0 Dec 11 10:41 .
drwxr-xr-x  24 root    root            0 Dec 31  1969 ..
drwxr-x---  41 user    users          0 Jan 18 04:05 user

Yup, aliases work here under ash just fine, including the pile I normally use on the desktop box :-).

Hmm, I sit corrected. Ahh, I remember I was trying to get ash to read a .bashrc, and that is _not_ supported (he said grasping for straws).

Where does one place one's aliases in ash, so they are read in automagically?

I'm guessing, but did you try ~/.ashrc?

~/.ashrc doesn't seem to work (for aliases) :(

Add your aliases to your .profile as user (located at /home/user/.profile).

Once you're done:

$ sudo gainroot
# source /home/user/.profile
# exit

Your aliases should work now as user.
