Substitutions

The following substitutions are performed before the specified text is inserted into the command line:

• $1 --> name of the current working directory
• $2 --> name of the secondary directory
• $F --> name of the current file
• $S --> name(s) of the selected file(s) ($f is preferred)
• $f --> like $S when <esc> was pressed before the last keystroke and there are some selected files; like $F otherwise
• $$ --> single $ character

Control sequences

• $c sets the cursor position, e.g:

  find / -type f -name '$c' -print

  Normal cursor position (without the $c) is at the end of the inserted command.
• $: deletes all text (like ctrl-U). It should be put at the very beginning of the line because everything before $: will be discarded.
• $! executes the command like pressing the <enter> key immediately afterward.
• $~ disables the Press enter to continue prompt. The control is returned to CLEX immediately after the command execution terminates provided that:
  • the command has not been modified; and
  • the command terminates successfully (exit code zero).

• combine it with $: in order to obtain full control over the command line
• don't use it for destructive actions like deleting data, etc.
