Agree with drum there.

It does insert "/" and then press enter. After that, the last line is recalled, and of course it doesn't press enter again (we don't want it to.) If you'd want it to press enter again, thereby repeating the history line, you'd have to use a 0 second timer, and then "/editbox -avn", which should press enter without changing the contents first (I didn't test this).

I haven't tried executing "/" in editboxes for other windows. I did execute "/!" in the Status Window while it was not the active window, and then recall the contents with $editbox(Status Window), and that worked fine. Unfortunately, "/!" does not allow you to keep stepping back like "/" does.

As for my example, if you change the alias to:

Code:
alias f6 editbox -afn /


You will then notice that it does recall the text in the left editbox, not the right one.
