<h3 class="section">3.4 The Command Line</h3>
<p><a name="index-Command-line-66"></a>
The command line is a typical (topical) way of controlling an editor on
character driven systems. It has some advantages over menus in terms of
access speed, but it is not desirable from a user interface point of
view. <code>ne</code> has a command line that should be used whenever strange
features have to be accessed, or whenever you want to use a command that
you are familiar with and that is not bound to any key.
<p>You have two ways to access the command line: by activating the menu and
typing a colon (‘<samp><span class="samp">:</span></samp>’) or by typing <kbd><Control>-K</kbd> (or any key
that is bound to the <code>Exec</code> command; see <a href="Exec.html#Exec">Exec</a>). The first
method will work regardless of any key binding configuration if you
activate the menus with the <Escape> key since that key cannot be
reconfigured. Of course, there is also a menu entry that does the same
job.
<p>Once you activate the command line, the status bar will turn into an input
line (see <a href="The-Input-Line.html#The-Input-Line">The Input Line</a>) with a ‘<samp><span class="samp">Command:</span></samp>’ prompt waiting for you
to do a long input. In other words, you can now type any command (possibly
with arguments), and when you press <Return>, the command will be
executed.
<p>If the command you specify does not appear in <code>ne</code>'s internal tables,
it is considered to be the name of a macro. See <a href="Basic-Macros.html#Basic-Macros">Basic Macros</a>, for details.
