Hi, all, This is for Unix-shell users only (including workalikes on Windows)...
Here's a time-saving tip which i use very often myself, but most CLI users i know don't seem to know about: It often happens that i'm typing a commit message when i decide i need to stop and go check if what i'm typing in really reflects reality (or needs to be tested). So: fossil commit -m ".........<INTERRUPT POINT> You can stick that line in your command history without executing it by doing the following: 1) Move your cursor to the beginning of the line. In Bash-like shells that's normally Ctrl-A, but many terminals support the Home key as well. 2) Type the '#' character (shift-3 on a US keyboard). That's the shell's comment-to-end-of-line marker. 3) Tap ENTER Or, in the Bash shell, simply: 1) Tap Escape, then type the # character. That does all 3 of the above at once.
