Disable Quickedit Mode in the command-line Windows 10 / Server 2019

Hi Folks,

you have to disable the QuickEdit Mode in the command-line on Windows 10 / Windows Server 2019.
Else your application hangs, waiting for key-input, as soon as you click inside the window.

Happy to use Linux as my main system...

But worth knowing when running the regression tests.

In fact, this feature is useful for me I use it sometimes while debugging some long-term operations when I see something happened and want to pause it and read the log immediately.

We disable such behavior programmatically in our app to prevent pause on mouse select. The same can be done in other apps

{$IFDEF MSWINDOWS}
var
  oldmode, newmode: DWORD;
{$ENDIF}
begin
  {$IFDEF MSWINDOWS}
  GetConsoleMode(GetStdHandle(STD_INPUT_HANDLE), oldmode);
  newmode := oldmode xor ENABLE_EXTENDED_FLAGS; // prevent pause on mouse select
  SetConsoleMode(GetStdHandle(STD_INPUT_HANDLE), newmode);
  {$ENDIF}                                                

In fact under Windows mORMot usually executed as a service, so I don't think we should add this in mORMot itself
