Click it, and you\u2019ll see the input options. There are 5 that are checked to be \u201con\u201d by default, and one more at the bottom. The descriptions for the checked items come directly from this <a href=\"https:\/\/knowledge.autodesk.com\/support\/autocad\/learn-explore\/caas\/CloudHelp\/cloudhelp\/2022\/ENU\/AutoCAD-Core\/files\/GUID-74478DCE-92D4-49B1-93E9-DCF09D57FA0D-htm.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Autodesk Knowledge Network article<\/a>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>AutoComplete.<\/strong> Specifies whether the complete command or system variable is automatically filled in on the command line as you enter it.<\/li><li><strong>AutoCorrect.<\/strong> Specifies whether the command line suggestion list provides suggestions <em>based on misspellings you have made in the past.<\/em><\/li><li><strong>Search System Variables. <\/strong>Specifies whether system variables are displayed on the command line suggestion list.<\/li><li><strong>Search Content. <\/strong>Specifies whether to search for named objects such blocks, layers, hatches, and styles such as text and dimension styles.<\/li><li><strong>Mid-string Search.<\/strong> Specifies whether the suggestion list includes commands that contain the letters you type or only words that start with those letters.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>These are all self-explanatory, so turn them on or off as you see fit. I do want to point out one of them though. Notice in the <strong>AutoCorrect<\/strong> item, I italicized the last portion. It learns from your frequent misspellings! I just love this feature. For years, I would type in PRUGE instead of <a href=\"https:\/\/knowledge.autodesk.com\/support\/autocad\/learn-explore\/caas\/CloudHelp\/cloudhelp\/2022\/ENU\/AutoCAD-Core\/files\/GUID-D68BA47B-A79D-4F58-9715-0569CC24BCEF-htm.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">PURGE<\/a>, and now, I can just go with it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The last entry isn\u2019t a check mark\/turn it on or off thing. But clicking it does get you to the <a href=\"https:\/\/knowledge.autodesk.com\/support\/autocad\/learn-explore\/caas\/CloudHelp\/cloudhelp\/2022\/ENU\/AutoCAD-Core\/files\/GUID-86E5D67B-E33C-4A05-8CB9-1F5F208C9B3E-htm.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">INPUTSEARCHDELAY<\/a> System Variable, which sets the number of milliseconds to delay before the command line suggestion list is displayed. The default is 300 (milliseconds). You can set it a value from 100 to 10,000 milliseconds. I\u2019m good with the default 300 though.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Moving on down the popup menu, the next item is <strong>Lines of Prompt History<\/strong>. Click it and it will take you right to the <a href=\"https:\/\/knowledge.autodesk.com\/support\/autocad-lt\/learn-explore\/caas\/CloudHelp\/cloudhelp\/2022\/ENU\/AutoCAD-LT\/files\/GUID-8B14D930-2B19-497D-B61E-EFD95296221C-htm.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">CLIPROMPTLINES<\/a> variable. If you\u2019re using the new floating style command line, you might want to increase or decrease the amount of command history that is shown. Set it to any number between 0 and 50. Again, I\u2019m good with the default of 3, but your mileage may vary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Next comes <strong>Input<\/strong> <strong>Search Options\u2026<\/strong> (note the 3 dots, or ellipsis \u2013 that indicates you\u2019ll get a dialog box \u2013 shown below). Here, you can enable or disable all the items that we found in the Input Settings flyout menu, along some additional options for each.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019ll point out AutoCorrect again. After the third time I type in PRUGE, AutoCAD will remember it, and I can go on my merry way \u201cpruging\u201d things. Notice also you can choose various types of objects to search for and change their priority by moving them up or down in the list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com/blogs\/autocad\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/35\/2022\/03\/11\/CommLineCustom_3.jpg\" data-lbwps-width=\"636\" data-lbwps-height=\"439\" data-lbwps-srcsmall=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com/blogs\/autocad\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/35\/2022\/03\/11\/CommLineCustom_3-300x207.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"636\" height=\"439\" src=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com/blogs\/autocad\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/35\/2022\/03\/11\/CommLineCustom_3.jpg\" alt=\"AutoCAD AutoCorrect\" class=\"wp-image-12418\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com/blogs\/autocad\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/35\/2022\/03\/11\/CommLineCustom_3.jpg 636w, https:\/\/www.autodesk.com/blogs\/autocad\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/35\/2022\/03\/11\/CommLineCustom_3-300x207.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 636px) 100vw, 636px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Next is a separator bar.
