- Deluxe Replacement for WB2+ 'Execute'
- .description
- ShellBench is a replacement for the Workbench Execute requester. It
- opens a small window on the default public screen, with a string
- gadget for typing in the desired command. The string gadget supports
- filename completion with the TAB key and keeps a command history
- buffer. The excellent BGUI library by Jan van den Baard provides
- font-sensitive gadget layout in a resizeable window.\n
- Via tooltypes and an options window, ShellBench offers fine control
- over the execution environment of launched programs, including task
- priority, stack size and current directory. In addition to using
- ShellBench on-demand for executing individual Shell commands, you can
- also quickly set up project icons that run Shell programs in highly
- configurable environments.\n
- Summary of features:\n
- o Icons shift-selected when started from Workbench have their fully
- qualified pathnames appended to the command string.\n
- o AppWindow support: drop icons in the window and the fully
- qualified pathnames will be appended to the command.\n
- o TAB key performs filename completion.\n
- o Shift-TAB inserts all matching filenames.\n
- o Press HELP to get a file requester; selected files get their full
- pathnames inserted into the command string.\n
- o Optionally expands all wildcards in command before launch.\n
- o Command line history, which can be saved to a file for recall
- between invocations of ShellBench.\n
- o Clipboard paste support using RightAmiga-V.\n
- o User-defined hotlist of favourite commands or substrings for quick
- insertion via function keys.\n
- o Launch parameters such as output window, stack size, current
- directory, etc, configurable via tooltypes and on-line via options
- window.\n
- o Launch parameters can be placed in tooltypes of project icons,
- allowing for easy launch of applications with specific execution
- environments.\n
- o Commodity option, with user-configurable pop-up hotkey.\n
- o Opens on the default public screen, or on a named one.\n
- o Font-sensitive, resizeable gadget layout: uses the preferred font
- of the screen it opens on, with a tooltype to override and specify
- your own font.\n
- o All gadgets have keyboard shortcuts.\n
- o Locale support for presenting all text and messages in the
- user-preferred language, with an option to override and specify
- language.\n
