Repeat numbers typed with arrow keys
Hello, I'm trying BricsCAD and I'm finding it good, but there is a behavior that i used in AutoCAD that i can't reproduce in BricsCAD.
In AutoCAD, setting the INPUTHISTORYMODE = 0 variable allowed me to scroll through the entered numbers with the arrow keys, example:
Line command;
I clicked the start point;
I typed 1000, 1750, 600, by pressing the arrow keys i could scroll through the previous values without having to type them again and i confirmed them with the Enter key.
In BricsCAD there is no INPUTHISTORYMODE variable, and if i use the arrow keys it does nothing, is there any setting that allows me a similar behavior?
Thank you.

Not sure if I got your question right.
But for dynamic inputs in Bricscad,
you can switch with TAB key (or ALT+TAB ? backwards) between the inputs
and edit values as much and often as you want.
Only the final ENTER will finally execute them.0 -
Hi, sorry to respond so late. With the TAB key nothing happens, should i enable something?
PS: Another example, select an object, command Move, move the mouse to the right, type 200 and confirm with Enter. I select the object again, command Move, move the mouse to the left, arrow up and confirm with Enter, the object returns to its original position.0 -
OK, not switching between input fields ....
you want to reach your previous number inputs.
Like in a DOS Window, where arrow keys bring and cycle
through your previous command inputs ....
I never heard of this function in a CAD before.
And it looks like Bricscad does not offer this.
At least I could not find any similar in Settings.
Do you need that inside the command line ?
EDIT :
I see that arrow keys can at least cycle through latest
commands (like in DOS)
But if that is a feature in Autocad,
Autocad functionality and compatibility has highest priority,
chances are good that it could be added when you file
a feature request for it.0 -
Yes correct, exactly like DOS. Yes, in AutoCAD it's a fairly hidden option, i don't remember how i discovered that variable, but I've been using it for about a decade now and i'm sorry i don't have this function, i'll make a request to add this function.
Thanks for the support.1 -
I would also like this feature. I use it all the time. That's how I ended up here searching for it!
