well leaf was talking about alt+up arrowing, so i was just figuring out if this is an outside textbox or inside textbox thing. so then just plain up would work, and we could ignore leafs comment...

Or another option could be implimented as a client side command or something like that, when players could keybind it however they wished.

Indeed

sounds better. but i think that it should be default binded to up arrow. but how would you make a keybinging for textbox only?

New commands: 'bindt, allows you to cause a non-text-applicable key to bind to a command; say, 'bindt chat, then tap the pageup key. Then, whenever you tap pageup WHILE IN THE TEXTBOX, normal pageup bind remains, it will put chat in the textbox. Also, when the command 'last, is entered, it calls the most recent command to the box. If the command in the box is highlighted and 'last, is entered in its place, the next place back in history is retrieved. Thus, 'last, is the default bindt to uparrow and can be used recursively.

that sounds good. how hard will it be to implement? or maybe just chain ['] + [up] keys?

I already have up and down arrows bound to scrolling through the client's command history, have had for a while.

There is some magic words you need to add to your ~/.crossfire/keys file, I believe it is these lines that you want.

! nextkey Down 0
! prevkey Up 0

With this setup up and down arrow keys go through history, and numberpad is for moving around. (this setup probably isn't suitable for laptops).

Will

! nextkey ] 0
! prevkey [ 0

work as well? That would be awesome, I hope it does.

I believe it should although I don't know whether that is the correct name for the key, so if it doesn't work you may need to look that up.

Hmmm, I don't have my [Page Up] and [Page Down] keys bound to anything. Wonder what to put after nextkey and prevkey to use those ...

This reminds me, an interesting feature to add would be support for seperate keybindings for non-printing keys that are pressed while typing in the text box. (i.e. so one could bind prevkey and nextkey to the up and down arrow keys, but only while the textbox has focus)
