Definately different. Better? Maybe for some. I most always search command history by prefix and then just using multiple ESC-p invocations to find the one command to edit/re-execute. Less frequently I want to search the whole text of history for the whole command line sequence like bash Ctrl-R accomplishes. >>> To emulate this behaviour in bash, I simply create a .inputrc file in my >>> $HOME with the following contents: >>> >>> # .inputrc file >>> "\ep": history-search-backward >>> "\en": history-search-forward > Interesting that you mapped these to cursor-up/cursor-down. > > That may cause unexpected results. > For example, typing something and then pressing up-arrow will cause > the shell to give you the previous command that started with that > rather than the previous command in-general. It's ESC-p/ESC-n, not just plain up-arrow/down-arrow. Up arrow still does up without any search. At least with my config using \ep as shown. My up arrows work for me as expected - they just iterate forward and backward through shell history. Dan
