GP Password Generator: Support

FAQ:

What is the first thing you would do to a factory install, or after a settings reset?: Add the special characters to the generator default settings with >gp /ss /as to the default settings; otherwise, modify (create) a named setting >gp /ss somename /an /al /au /as 11. Without the '/ss', this command would add the specials for the current run only, while the saving operations are always just printing the new settings, here to the Default settings, next after Globals, for confirmation.
How can I get a password without waiting for the Zoom-In process?: You can switch off the Zoom-In effect (Global Setting, no argument to the Save Setting option) with, >gp /ss /zoom off. Then, in future runs you'll just get a brick wall in four parts, and a totally random password, with the current action being to confirm your changes to the Global: Zoom-In setting (at the top, of course).
How can I get Statistics to show by default?: This is a combination of the Save Settings option, /ss, but since it's a global setting, the Save Settings option takes no argument, like so: >gp /ss /stats on. Otherwise, you can turn on stats for just the current run with, >gp /stats.

Usage: v1.0.0

Usage: gp [options + arguments] [password length]
GP generates random passwords from the character sets in its configuration, simply run without command line parameters.
All /options themselves are evaluated without case-sensitivity, and it is the same with the arguments which are on/off.
The brackets in this syntax guide are to indicate optionality, '[]', and required, '⟨⟩', and aren't meant to be included in the arguments.
Also, wildcard, '*', patterns work as an argument anywhere it makes sense, with examples below.
After generating a password, using the r-key (a hot key) will reject and redo that password.
Options:
- LENGTH: The length of the password goes last, when specified. If it is given along with the /ss option sequence, it will be saved.
- /AL & /RL: Add/Remove the lower-case alphabet set.
- /AU & /RU: Add/Remove the upper-case alphabet.
- /AN & /RN: Add/Remove the numbers.
- /AS & /RS: Add/Remove these special characters, !@#$%%&*, equivalent to using option: /ax !@#$%%&*, or /rx !@#$%%&*.
- /AX & /RX ⟨characters⟩ : Add/Remove your own set of characters, specified following either of these option sequences and a space.
- /SS ⟨custom name⟩ : Save the settings to a named settings slot, which is the default settings slot if left blank.
- /SU ⟨name⟩ : Use the named settings slot, following this option sequence and a space. Example: use custom slot 'name123' with the '/su n*' option sequence.
- /SD ⟨name⟩ : Make the named settings, following this option sequence and a space, the default settings.
- /SE ⟨name⟩ : Erase the named settings slot, which follows this option and a space.
- /SL: List all general and settings slots.
- /SDR: Reset factory settings.
- /PG ON|OFF: Grouping of the password characters (readability chunking) on/off.
- /FMR: Set the Filter to Minimal Repetitions of characters, in addition to Including one character of each pool set. This is default.
- /FIO: Set the Filter to Include at least one character of each pool set.
- /FNF: Set the Filter to filterless output, or all constraints removed.
- /QP ON|OFF: Control the generator's Quick Password method, which permits long passwords to be produced in a timely manner, active by default. It is indicated in the statistics as a starred (*) pw count.
- /STIR ⟨1-7⟩ : Pool stirring level (1 to 7), default: 4. Hot keys: left + right direction keys.
- /STATS ON|OFF: Display/hide generator statistics. Format per generator group: ⟨successes⟩/⟨failures⟩ ⟨stirrings per second, left pool⟩ ⟨SPS, right pool⟩. Hotkey: s.
- /CL: List the customizable display colors, along with element codes and names.
- /CC ⟨3-code⟩ ⟨RGB Spec⟩ : Change a display element color with this overloaded option, followed by a space and the three-letter element code, followed by another space and the color specification (either as #rrggbb web/hexidecimal format, or r,g,b comma-separated decimal format).
- " ⟨3-code A⟩ = ⟨3-code B⟩ : Change an element color (A) by copying the color of another element (B). Follow the option by a space and the three-letter element code of the destination, then an equals sign, and followed by the source element 3-code.
- " ⟨3-code A⟩ ⟨3-code B⟩ : Change two display colors simultaneously by swapping them with this option overload. Follow the option by a space and the first element color 3-code (obtained from a color listing), then space and the second 3-code.
- /CRAN ⟨3-code⟩ ON|OFF: A random color is generated for the specified component via its 3-letter code. The random color generation only occurs when a password generation run occurs. Example: turn on random for all colors with the '/cran *' option sequence.
- /CE: Edit the colors file (located in our AppData directory, called Colors.txt). *Note the documentation for /CE is an in-app help omission.
Here's a sample output of a color listing, to exhibit the 3-codes, in the second column, with the third and fourth columns being the web-hex and RGB decimal codes for the same color:

The /CE option opens the colors file, from our user data directory in AppData. The CLI color commands (/CC, /CRAN) are just a convenience for editing the colors file.
