I'd suggest to integrate a bash/zsh/... *argument* autocompletion file, it really helps: * to make it faster to type any parameter: you type a few letters and "tab" (e.g. type "--en" + tab --> --enable- --> type "wa" + tab --> --enable-wallpaper, 8 strokes (maybe even only 6: "--e tab w tab"), YMMV) * to remember complicated parameters thanks to suggestion list (e.g. "--enable-" + tab --> list of all options starting with "--enable-", very practical if you know you want to enable/disable something but don't remember the option's name) It is also possible to make more advanced stuffs like suggesting only appropriate options after a given argument. http://www.debian-administration.org/article/An_introduction_to_bash_completion_part_2 More and more linux programs (first example in mind: git) have this and it's really really helpful. But its usefulness might be limited to a small number of users here ? Anyway, just my two cents. Regards, Alexis ps: I'm a bit lost too with the new syntax by the way, but it must be because I've not used Windows command-line in years. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Keep yourself connected to Go Parallel: DESIGN Expert tips on starting your parallel project right. http://goparallel.sourceforge.net/ _______________________________________________ Freerdp-devel mailing list Freerdp-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freerdp-devel
