Subj : Re: bash : alt-p history recall like in csh To : comp.os.linux From : William Date : Sun Feb 27 2005 02:10 pm I have patches for bash at ftp://ftp.newspapersystems.com/pub/binaries/patches/ that make ^R do an incremental search starting with the text that you have already typed. For example, if you just ran "cc test.c", you could type ^Rte to find the command and run it. William .
