Shortcuts and environment variables

You can replace strings with the values of environment variables.

In some fields, GDC will replace any $xxx (X11 / macOS™) or %xxx% (Windows®) by the corresponding environment variables. The fields concerned are:

Table 1. Environment variable fields

Connection Type	Fields
direct	host, username, commandline
http	url
local	command line, working directory, parameters

If you want GDC to simply send the text instead of replacing the environment variable, use the "\" character to escape the variable (e.g. \$HOSTNAME or \%HOSTNAME\%).
