This is the Enigma command line feature. It exists for all OS. You do 
not need to press a command-key. Just enter commands and press return to 
execute them.

F.e. "help" - prints all user commands. "easy" restarts a level in easy 
mode. "search raoul" will give you all levels written by Raoul, ...

The command line has a history function. Press the up/down arrows to 
repeat the previous or next command again.

The oscillation just make strings readable that are longer than the 
display width.
