*It's not exactly true that the Shift key is not accessible or not recognized, because I can type important characters like the underscore and parentheses. It's merely that uppercase letters cannot be typed. | *It's not exactly true that the Shift key is not accessible or not recognized, because I can type important characters like the underscore and parentheses.

*Is the lack of access to uppercase letters an issue? This is total news to me, so naturally I am curious as to whether this has been a problem on the Mac side of things that I never knew about. --[[User:Iritscen|Iritscen]] 03:04, 7 October 2008 (CEST) | *Is the lack of access to uppercase letters an issue?

:The PC command line has no major issues: uppercase letters can be entered both on PC and PC demo. There are occasional glitches with autocompletion and some inconsistencies with multithreading (i.e., "fork"ing may not work as expected when launched from the console). Also, the command line is not displayed properly or at all at large resolutions. | |||
:Thanks for the disambiguation about the Shift key. Ed didn't make it clear how exactly it didn't work. Do you confirm that the ''only'' characters that can't be entered are uppercase letters? Also, Ed, how long have your 3 "known issues" been around? Right from the moment when the Dev Mode was unlocked? | |||
:The original variables and functions (preset of scripted) are all lowercase, but team names are capitalized, and many AI names contain uppercase letters as well. So lowercase-only input can be frustrating. The obvious workaround is to use scripts more, so that all command line statements can be lowercase. | |||
