Public bug reported: Binary package hint: bash
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Spec/EnhancedBash Add helpful bash shortcuts that will help users better utilize their system. This will allow the user to see commands they typed, and give a reasonable history setting. Currently page-up and page-down scroll through history, but they don't match partially typed commands. There are other bindings for these, but this is by far the most intuitive system I have seen. * Bind pageup to history-search-backward * Bind pagedown to history-search-forward * Add shopt -s histappend * Add PROMPT_COMMAND='history -a' What these do: * Bind pageup to history-search-backward o This will allow page-up to match previously typed commands from partial input * Bind pagedown to history-search-forward o This will allow page-down to match previously typed commands from partial input * Add shopt -s histappend o This will make bash append to the history file instead of overwrite it * Add PROMPT_COMMAND='history -a' o This will append the previous command to history each time a prompt is shown ** Affects: bash (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Unconfirmed -- Easier history usage https://launchpad.net/bugs/83857 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
