cmdline

NAME
    cmdline - opens a command line frame at the bottom of the screen
    cmd - an alias for cmdline

SYNOPSIS
    cmdline [options]
    cmd [options]

DESCRIPTION
    Optional arguments:
    -br <browser_type = ff>
       If not included, cmdline will assume that a Firefox browser
       is being used. This is the default value of "ff". If
       set to "ie", cmdline will assume an Internet Explorer
       browser is being used.

    -fc <font_colour = black>
       If not included, the cmdline will use a black font. This
       is the default value. HTML colour names, hex codes, or
       rgb(r,g,b) functions can be used. (NB. hex codes coming
       soon.)

    -bg <background_colour = white>
       If not included, the cmdline will use a white background.
       This is the default value. HTML colour names, hex codes,
       or rgb(r,g,b) functions can be used. (NB. hex codes
       coming soon.)

    -c <clear_method = yes>
       If not included, the cmdline will clear itself after a
       command is run. This is the default value of "yes". If
       set to "no", cmdline will not clear itself after a
       command is run.

FUNCTIONALITY
    Once cmdline has been run, and the command frame appears
    at the bottom of your browser, you can issue standard YubNub
    commands.

    There are also some internal commands that can be used to
    modify the behaviour of cmdline. These are as follows:

    :h <show_history = 20>
      Show the last 20 commands (excluding internal ones).
      These commands are numbered and linked, and can
      therefore be clicked to re-run a command. Fewer
      commands can be shown by providing a numerical
      argument less than 20.

    :cd <meta_directory>
      Change "directories" to one of google or yahoo. Once
      this has been done, the following commands are aliased
      to their google or yahoo equivalents:
         mail (maps to gma or ym)
         news (maps to gnews or yanews)
         pics (maps to gim or yim)
         find (maps to gg or y)
      This is a bit experimental and more input is needed
      to create more meta-directories and more meta-commands.
      :cd with no argument resets cmdline to the meta-root
      directory.

    :fc <font_colour>
      Change cmdline's font colour. HTML colour names, hex
      codes, or rgb(r,g,b) functions can be used.

    :bg <background_colour>
      Change cmdline's background colour. HTML colour names,
      hex codes, or rgb(r,g,b) functions can be used.

    :cl <clear_method = yes>
      Set cmdline's clear method. The default is yes. If set
      to new, cmdline will not clear the last command.

    nw <yubnub_command>
      Run the command in a new browser window.

EXAMPLE
    Choose your favourite colour combination, and write
    a YubNub command like the following, for example:

       cmdline -br ie -fc green -bg black

NOTES
    1. This command is in active development and therefore expect
       the occasional bug to crop up. Please report any bugs,
       comments, or questions to the "cmdline" thread of the
       YubNub Google group:
       http://groups-beta.google.com/group/YubNub

    2. Some websites attempt to "break out" of any frames
       that enclose them. So be prepared for some sites to
       make the command line go away.

    3. Currently, gma (and hence "mail" from the google meta-
       directory) do not work using Firefox.
