Hi all, first off I just started using fish, and so far like it a lot... I
switched over looking for a shell that provided a search history like
matlab, and at first was quite happy, however now that there are more
entries in my search history, things aren't working so well, mainly because
I need to type in more complete commands before I can start searching...
basically, is there a way to make the search only search the BEGINNING of a
line???
for if I know that I have
>echo blah
10 lines up in my command history, in matlab (and what I'd really like to be
able to do) I can just type e, and then hit the up arrow, and it will go to
it. However now in fish, it will match any command that has an e in it,
which isn't very useful.
this means that I have to type out several more letters, which is much
slower.
so any way to fix this???
Simplest would just be an option to have searches start at the beginning of
the string. Alternatively there could be a switch based on the number of
characters entered, so if there are less than 2-3 characters entered, you
would search the beginning of the line, and other do the regular search.
Let me know!
THanks,
