What steps will reproduce the problem? 1. Enter some commands to generate history
2. Press F7 on the cmd.exe prompt What is the expected output? What do you see instead? cmd.exe normally brings up a dialog where you can pick-up commands from the history list. What version of the product are you using? On what operating system? Latest, Windows Server 2008 Please provide any additional information below.

This is deliberate. Clink takes over all command line editing when it's enabled which means that shortcuts like F7 are no longer available. Clink's incremental search (provided by Bash's Readline) is far superior. Try Ctrl-R (case sensitive, for the moment).

That's fine, but a means to output all history should be re-established. There is clear justification for this:

  1. in Bash, it is possible to list all history with the "history" command.
  2. in a Windows Command Prompt, it is possible to list all history with the F7 or "doskey /history" command provided by DOSKEY.
    By comparison, clink has completely broken this functionality from both a DOS or BASH perspective.
    Completely understand that clink would want to remove the F7 functionality, but clink should not destroy well understood and well used functionality of DOS/BASH!

Why woould I want to see the history as a list?
Well, in fact, I want to see the history as a list almost every day. To review the thought processes of running various commands. In almost every other way, clink is a vast improvement, but in this respect, this is a massive step backwards as clink breaks functionality that is present in DOS or in BASH.
