Windows
Command Prompt is a tool used to give instructions to the system. It is used in
troubleshooting the issue and can perform all sorts of functions.
One
of the drawbacks of using Command Prompt is that some commands can stretch to
many characters, making it easy for mistakes to slip in.
You
can use the arrow keys to cycle through and repeat past commands, but
repeatedly tapping the up key to find the one you’re after takes time.

A quicker way to access past commands is by pressing F7 (Fn + F7). A box will then
appear, listing all your previous commands. You can now browse the list more
easily using the arrow keys.
