Hi Vishal
Screen has a history command for typed commands. From the manual:
history
Usually users work with a shell that allows easy access to previous
commands.
For example csh has the command "!!" to repeat the last command executed.
Screen
allows you to have a primitive way of re-calling "the command that started
...":
You just type the first letter of that command, then hit `C-a {' and screen
tries
to find a previous line that matches with the `prompt character' to the left
of
the cursor. This line is pasted into this window's input queue. Thus you have
a
crude command history (made up by the visible window and its scrollback buffer).
C-a {, (history) Copy and paste a pre‐
C-a } vious (command) line.
It's usually a bit easier to work with your shell's own history feature though.
Hope this helps.
