Hello Jimmie, Sorry for the inconvenience on the undocumented "Ctrl+Enter". That's something I'm working on and will be fixed in the next release. > Also, I do not see any way to go back in history with this REPL as I > can with the other. Yes, currently, a REPL in CCW will be tied to a project, which will provide the "classpath context" for the REPL, among other things. Then, once the REPL is started, you can maximize it via Ctrl+M (on Windows/Linux). Hope that helps, -- Laurent > > Thanks for your suggestion.
