Hello,
I'm trying to switch to ksh as my login shell.
It seems to me, that the vi mode is more capable
than emacs-mode in ksh and so I've switched to it
("set -o vi" in my ~/.kshrc) and I do know that I can hit ESC,
then / and type a part of my command to search for it.
However I just can't find (yes, I've read "man ksh")
a way for searching for a partially typed command.
In tcsh I was typing "ll /var/w" and then ESC-p(revious)
and ESC-n(ext) to search for the matching commands.
I also was having:
bindkey -k up history-search-backward
bindkey -k down history-search-forward
for mapping the same functions to the arrow keys
but that's probably to much to ask for...
So what do you do in ksh, when you start to
type a command and then realize, that it must
be somewhere there in the history already?
Thank you
Alex
