Configuration Page 2 of 5

If this setting is enabled (the default) then PromptPal will ignore the three options above and present a single tab
only, opened at the default directory.
If you disable this setting, then PromptPal will always open the tabs you've specified in the earlier options. In addition,
if PromptPal was launched with a non-empty command line it will create an extra tab (at the default directory) in
which to execute the given command line.

Preferences

This page of the Configuration dialog contains a mixture of settings that control PromptPal's appearance and editing
behavior. The settings are arranged into groups as described below. While changes to most settings are applied
immediately, some may require PromptPal itself to be closed and re-opened before they take effect.
[Tip: if at any time you wish to revert to the original settings, just hit the "Restore defaults" button at the bottom of
the page]

Command Info Bar
You can change the font, font size and colors used by PromptPal's command information bar. By default, PromptPal
uses a common fixed-width font for the Info bar.

Main Window - Appearance

Here you can change the background color, text color, font, font size and other attributes for PromptPal's main
window. Note that only fixed-width fonts are available, to prevent alignment issues.

Main Window - Editing
Settings in this group affect general editing behavior within PromptPal.

Up/Down arrow keys navigate command history
This is ON by default, allowing you to tap the UP arrow key to quickly select the most recent command. Tapping the
UP arrow key again takes you further back through PromptPal's stored command history, while the DOWN arrow key
navigates in the opposite direction. If you turn this setting off, the UP/DOWN arrow keys will revert to their standard
function in the current shell (which in many cases will mean that they now operate the shell's own inbuilt but non-
persistent command history).

Return/Enter selects from auto-complete list
If enabled, hitting the RETURN or ENTER key while an autocomplete popup list item is selected indicates your intention
to use that item in your command. The text is copied to the current line, and the popup window closes, but the
command line is not executed until you hit RETURN again. (If no popup is present then a single tap of the RETURN key
will execute the command line, as expected). This setting defaults to disabled.
Space bar selects from auto-complete list
This setting determines whether the SPACE bar takes the current selection from a popup auto-complete list or not.
The default for this setting is disabled, meaning that hitting the space bar when a popup list is present simply closes
the list and appends a space to your command line. If you enable this setting then the space bar will take the
currently selected auto-complete item and insert it into your command line, along with a space character.

Tab selects from auto-complete list
This setting determines whether the TAB key takes the current selection from a popup auto-complete list or not. The
default for this setting is enabled.

Autocomplete popup for commands
Untick this to disable the popup list at the start of the command line.

Autocomplete popup for switches
Untick this to disable the popup list when you start typing a command switch (/,-).
