Create custom feedback mode in jshell

Question

As from the documentation of /set feedback in jshell, there are following built-in modes:

verbose, normal, concise, and silent

Is it possible to create a feedback mode with the functionality of both concise and silent? Or we can change any one of the above mode? Or can we create our own custom feedback mode?

Answer 1

You can create your own custom feedback mode using the command:

/set mode <your-mode-name> -command|-quiet

where the -command option indicates that you want command feedback. If you don't want commands to describe the action that occurred, then use -quiet instead of -command.

If you want to copy an existing mode, you can do that as:

/set mode <your-mode-name> <existing-mode-name> -command|-quiet

For example

/set mode samplemode concise -command

In order to merge the functionality of both, you might have to edit the attributes from the command line for one that you didn't initially copy from.
