PROMPTOPTIONFORMAT system variable

Prompt option format

Specifies how command options are displayed in the Command line prompt. A command option has a keyword, a description and a shortcut. The shortcut is the keyword without lower case characters (a-z).

e.g. the third option of the CIRCLE command:

Keyword = TanTanRad

Description = Tangent-Tangent-Radius

Shortcut = TTR

Note: The PROMPTOPTIONTRANSLATEKEYWORDS user preference controls whether translations of command option keywords are loaded or not. If disabled, the local keyword will be a copy of the global (English) keyword. As a result global shortcuts can be used without an underscore.
