Hi, However, the linux command line is far more advanced than the windows equivalent. You can type Ctrl-r and then a string, and it will search back your command history for the command matching your string.
You can type Ctrl-g to stop this search You can type esc-< to go to the head of your command history. You can type Ctrl-s to search forwards through your command history. you can type Ctrl-k to kill from the curent cursor point to the end of the line, then issue a couple of normal commands, and then Ctrl-y to yank back the previously killed text to the current command line. you can type Ctrl-a to go the start of the current command line you can type Ctrl-e to go to the end of the current command line. And you know what ? these commands are the same as that used in emacs to edit the text in emacs. See - learning the emacs commands will make your command line editing miles easier. emacs rules ! But vi has its place.. so I am not totally biassed.
