Like the Windows console, Linux consoles are also line-oriented, and hitting up-arrow cycles through each line, one at a time. The bash shell offers a special "operate-and-go-next" command to operate on a particular history line and then immediately retrieve the next history line: http://web.mit.edu/gnu/doc/html/features_7.html but I think that's about as close as any standard Linux console gets to the ability to retrieve multiple lines from history at once. ---------- nosy: +steven.daprano _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue33893> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
