hi, one feature that i am missing from bash is incremental search. often i do not know in advance how specific the searchterm needs to be to find the right entry quickly.
with incremental search i just start typing until the entry i want is there. the interface in bash is not ideal however. if i misstype i need to abort and restart the search, but preferably i'd like to be able to edit the search, just like any other commandline. add and remove chars at any position of the search term. interresting might also be to display a screenful of matches, that gets updated as you change the search term. also, occasionally i like to assemble a commandline from parts. i start typing, go back in the history to gt to a previous command, copy part or all of it, go back to the end, paste what i copied to the incomplete commandline and continue working. since the uparrow initiates a search, this does not work anymore... greetings, martin. -- cooperative communication with sTeam - caudium, pike, roxen and unix offering: programming, training and administration - anywhere in the world -- pike programmer travelling and working in europe open-steam.org unix system- bahai.or.at iaeste.(tuwien.ac|or).at administrator (caudium|gotpike).org is.schon.org Martin Bähr http://www.iaeste.or.at/~mbaehr/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
