Duff, My initial reaction is to request that it be rather simple — more like the DOS command recall. QDos III goes further into allowing a command history to be popped up and a past command either run or selected for editing. I don't think that mouse PICKS should be recalled, although I think that the return button could recall the command without entering it, allowing one to edit the command first. As for granularity (nifty word), I think that anything typable is fair game, which would include keywords, transparencies, etc. Selected objects are recalled with the Previous selection option already… the only improvement I would make is to provide one more selection before that: Former. This would give you keyboard control over Last, Previous, and Former selection sets. And I don't see why deleted entities cannot be reselected. The (entdel) toggles the existence of entities anyway, doesn't it? It would be similar to the OOPS Previous, i have to use to undo a command and get the selection set back (tedious, but better than reselecting entities). I don't see any need to worry about configurations, or "destructive cursor movement" — DOS doesn't seem to have these problems… and I don't know Unix <g>. Besides, I *hate* dialogue boxes — it should have been apparent from the Macs that it is a great pain to constantly shift between the mouse and keyboard. I have to give Autodesk a jeer for that one 😉 [More]
