Bash History search

October 27th, 2008 Filed Under General, Scripts

Usually, when typing ‘ls’ and pressing , your current input will be replaced with man mount. If you are using history seach, only past commands beginning with ‘ls’ (the current input) will be shown, in this case ‘ls /usr/src/linux-2.6.15-ARCH/kernel/power/Kconfig’.

You can enable this mode by adding to /etc/inputrc or your ~/.inputrc

"\e[A":history-search-backward "\e[B":history-search-forward
