Yes, depending on the mode (vi or emacs). For example in vi mode (set -o vi) you can hit <Esc> to get into command mode, then the key 'k' will go to the previous command (key 'j' moves the other direction), key '/' will search backwards in the history, key 'n' (key 'N' for the other direction) will jump to the next command matching the found pattern. _______________________________________________ ast-users mailing list [email protected] https://mailman.research.att.com/mailman/listinfo/ast-users
