Before the sample session, we briefly present how to edit a command line.
You can enter a command line by typing after the prompt or clicking with the
mouse on a part on a window and copy it at the prompt in the Scilab
window. The usual Emacs commands are at your
disposal for modifying a command (Ctrl-<chr> means hold the CONTROL key
while typing the character <chr>), for example:
- Ctrl-p recall previous line
- Ctrl-n recall next line
- Ctrl-b move backward one character
- Ctrl-f move forward one character
- Delete delete previous character
- Ctrl-h delete previous character
- Ctrl-d delete one character (at cursor)
- Ctrl-a move to beginning of line
- Ctrl-e move to end of line
- Ctrl-k delete to the end of the line
- Ctrl-u cancel current line
- Ctrl-y yank the text previously deleted
- !prev recall the last command line which begins by prev
- Ctrl-c interrupt Scilab and pause after carriage return.
Clicking on the Control/stop button enters a Ctrl-c.
As said before you can also cut and paste using the mouse. This way will be
useful if you type your commands in an editor. Another way to
``load'' files containing Scilab statements
is available with the File/File Operations button.
