Another one of my favorite tricks is that after you’ve found something in
the history, if you execute it and then press the down arrow, you will get
the next thing you ran in history after the last time you ran that command.
I now find it incredibly frustrating that I can’t do this in other systems.
Whoah! I had no idea! That could save me *so* much time - and I love Julia
even more for every time I learn something about her =)
Is there anywhere tricks like these are documented/listed? I tried
searching the manual for REPL, but it didn’t give me anything useful.
