Sent Gcode commands not going away in DWC console
-
Why do you wish that?
I find it very useful to be able to execute the same command many times just by hitting the Enter key.

I seldom send the same gcode command twice in a row. It would be cool if you could use the up arrow (like in DOS and other programs) to populate the previous command if you want to run it again. -

It's usually quicker for me to just retype the command than having to scroll through a list when I'm looking at the printer.

True but as you type it jumps to the next match in the list.

I use the DWC console to send a lot of different commands. Is there anyone else that thinks this suggested update above would be helpful so we don't need to delete every command we send prior to sending a new command?

There is no need to delete old commands. Why do you think that is the case?

I wouldn't mind if it had an option to behave more like a command line terminal where after you press enter the command is sent and disappears and then you can press up arrow to cycle through previous command history. That's just my muscle memory. I do find it annoying to have to constantly delete the previous command to type something new.

I am seeing something different in firmware 3.3.
When I click on the command line of the DWC Console any existing command is selected and any new command typed in replaces what was there.

If you send a second command in the console it does not behave this way. I vote with Phaedrux.

Interesting you should mention "muscle memory".
When you pointed out the behavior that was different from mine I paid more attention to what I was doing.
Tab then Shift-Tab
It had become so automatic I was no longer aware I was doing it.
The mind is a interesting thing.
