| + | | ''!!'' | Is replaced with exclamation mark (''!''). | | ||
| + | | ''!/'' | Current remote path. | | ||
| + | | ''!@'' | Current session hostname. | | ||

| + | | ''!p'' | Current session password (if [[security_credentials|remembered]]). | | ||
| + | | ''!?prompt[\]?default!'' | When used, user is prompted to enter value that replaces the pattern. ''prompt'' can define a message of the prompt and ''default'' a default value, both can be empty. Special characters entered by user are automatically delimited. You can prohibit this using optional backslash (''\'') before second question mark (''?''). | | ||
| + | | ''!`command`'' | Replaced with output of given local console command. | | ||
| + | |||
| + | If pattern ''!@'' is not used, parameter ''-load <site>'' is automatically added to the command. | ||
