Hello,
Thanks, it's also documented in several lab vendor workbooks. The point
is you should be able to do this command once and remember so you don't
have to look it up again.

Sincerely,

John,
It's not undocumented. It's documented in atleast two places on
the DocCD.

ffun_c/ffcprt1/fcf001.htm#1001965

Designating a Keystroke as a Command Entry
You can configure the system to recognize particular keystroke (key
combination or sequence) as command aliases. In other words, you can set
a keystroke as a shortcut for executing a command. To enable the system
to interpret a keystroke as a command, use the either of the following
key combinations before entering the command sequence:

Keystrokes Purpose
Ctrl-V or Esc, Q
Configures the system to accept the following keystroke as a
user-configured command entry (rather than as an editing command).

fsecur_r/fothercr/srfpass.htm#wp1017497

Can contain the question mark (?) character if you precede the question
mark with the key combination Crtl-v when you create the password; for
example, to create the password abc?123, do the following:

-Enter abc.

-Type Crtl-v.

-Enter ?123.

Hello James,
This is one of those things that is undocumented, you have to hit a
ctrl-v, then put in the question mark.

Hi,

Sorry if this was asked before... been googling for the past 20 minutes
and
ran out of patience :(

How does one enter "?" into password in IOS, without getting IOS to
interpret
that as command help request?

Thanks!
