I'll be a madlad and thank you right here, right now!
Man, I've been on unix systems since, oh, 1994, but I've never messed with my .inputrc ... may need to take the dive....
Ok this is actually great. Is there a way to make it so when you down arrow again it will clear the cmd line (or take it back to the prefix)?
Like "py" -> up -> down -> result is "py"
Currently it would show my last python command (or whatever matches).
Hey! Sorry just getting into Linux, I love learning about cool ways of doing things more efficiently. What does this do exactly? I've noticed others mentioning CTRL+R and I am not sure what that means either. Thank you!
Basically, while ctrl+r is nice, this is how I got used to use my system. What this does is enable search for when you press arrow up. If you type nothing then itβs default behavior but if you type βsshβ and then start pressing arrow up it will bring up the previous command that had the word ssh in. Itβs worth it for someone who constantly forgets ctrl+r exists
