It's funny to see so many requests about hidden features...
I'm sometimes wondering if they would be as popular if they weren't hidden
in the first place....
Well,try the following:
While writing a message with TPK's built in editor,put the cursor at the
begining of a line filled with text (=not an empty one)...
They while pressing and holding down the ctrl key hit the right arrow...
...You see ! It will move the cursor directly to the begining of the next
word...
Same thing for ctrl+left arrow :it will move the cursor to the begining
of the previous or current word (it depends where it is when you do this).
Now feature number 2:
Go in the bulletin list ...Select (for example) all messages sent to TPK...
Then go back to the full list by hitting [c] and choosing your bbs list
again...
Ok ?
Now:change your mind ! and do you know how to get back the previous
selected list without selecting it again ?
Hit [s] and then [esc]
...You'll be showwn the previous selected list...
In fact what you are shown here is the buffer used when selecting certain
types of messages...The buffer is cleaned when you exit the list...
And you won't be able to ge the previous selected list if you actually
are in a "selected list" other than the full bbs list ...As when you are,
you're actually viewing the buffer...
Give it a try and you'll see it's easy...
Ok,i hear you say:"what's the use;i can re select the list I want anyway !"
...Well not exactly...Picture this:
In your list you have 4 messages marked "r" ...So you're selecting them
in order to view them easily...
You read them and therefore they turn to "y" ...Then you go back to the
full list and suddenly you have regrets and would like to go back to
these 4 messages only...
Well,they are not marqued "r" anymore and if you select all msgs marked
"y",you won't only get these 4...
So this is where [s][esc] comes in...If you do this,you'll get the previous
selected list which contained these 4 messages only...Even if their flag
has changed from "r" to "y"...It doesn't matter as TPK doesn't re-select
them...It just reads the buffer where the list was put when you selected
these messages before !
Ok,that's not the kind of feature which is usefull every day,but i
Sometimes use it and it's quite convenient...
So ! what do you say ?
