Autoreplace or AutoCorrect is a feature in some text editor s, word processor s and other programs that accept user input via Computer keyboard keyboard . It involves automatic replacement of a particular string with another one, usually one that is longer and harder to type, as myname with Lee John Nikolai Francois Al Rahman . This usually makes sense for only those phrases that are relatively common in the texts the user is editing. Replacement is usually done after the user has typed a space or return after the keyword. Autocomplete makes keyboard input faster and more accurate because generally more mistakes are made in typing longer phrases. Standalone tools Along with the text editor s built in feature, there are also standalone autoreplace autocomplete programs, which stay resident in computer memory memory and monitor user s input. These programs also automatically replace a particular input string with another one and bring the autoreplace and autocomplete features to any program which involves text typing.

Command history is a feature in many command line interpreter operating system shells , computer algebra programs, and other Computer software software that allows the user to recall, edit and rerun previous commands. History was first introduced by Bill Joy ref http www.kitebird.com csh tcsh book csh intro.pdf An Introduction to the C shell by Bill Joy . ref in the C shell in 1978. It quickly became popular because it made the C shell fast and easy to use. History has since become a standard feature in other shells, including Korn shell ksh , Bash Unix shell bash and Microsoft s cmd.exe . History addressed two important scenarios Executing the same command or a short sequence of commands over and over. An example might be a developer frequently compiling and running a program. Correcting mistakes or rerunning a command with only a small modification. In Joy s original C shell, the user could refer to a previous command by typing an exclamation, code code , followed by additional characters to specify a particular command, only certain words, or to edit it in some way before pasting it back into the command line. For example code code meant the entire previous command. code code meant just the last word of the previous command. code code abc meant the command that started with abc . The usual implementation today is to combine history with command line editing. The cursor keys are used to navigate up and down through the history list and left or right to anyplace on the line, where the user can simply type a desired change. But some implementations are Menu computing menu based The user presses a certain function key which displays a menu of recent commands, which the user can select one by typing a number.

To avoid this, typists using this method should sit up tall leaning s ... more details
