Well, from what I can tell looking at the Preview, there’s a LOT of cool Console goodness coming in Windows 10.<\/p>\n
Here’s a list of hotkeys in the Windows 10 Technical Preview console. This is just hotkeys! Be sure to explore the Properties dialog as well, resize, word wrapping, and more.<\/p>\n
These combinations interoperate with the mouse so you can start selecting with the mouse and continue with one of these commands, or vice versa.<\/p>\n

Regardless of the state of mark mode and quick edit mode, one of two things should happen. Either the entire buffer is selected, or (only in a single case) ‘2-Phase select’ starts.\u00a0 2-Phase select is the process where the first CTRL-A selects the characters to the right of the edit line prompt, and the second<\/em> press selects the entire buffer.<\/p>\n As I mentioned above you can copy and paste text with the keyboard. When copying text, you might worry that CTRL + C has always been the BREAK<\/a> command. This is a nice touch, it will still send the break signal to the running application when no text is selected. The first CTRL-C copies the text and clears the selection, and the second one signals the break. Nice attention to detail, IMHO.<\/p>\n These keys function in mark mode. You can enter this mode by right-clicking anywhere in the console title bar and choosing Edit->Mark from the context menu as before, or via the new shortcut combination, CTRL-M. In the original console, mark mode resulted in block mode text selection. While in mark mode, you can hold down the ALT key at the start of a text selection command to use block mode in the new console. The selection key combinations above are all available in mark mode. CTRL + SHIFT + ARROW operations select by character and not by word while in mark mode.<\/p>\n Close the console window, of course!<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n |
