fwiw I find ^r a bit confusing to use. (user ignorance of the sublties I'm sure..) I much prefer to use PgUp/PgDn after typing the partial command, create a file called ~/.inputrc containing: ################################ set prefer-visible-bell # -------- Bind page up/down wih history search --------- "\e[5~": history-search-backward "\e[6~": history-search-forward ################################ I got really used to this in the matlab console (up/down arrow there) and it hurt not to have it in bash until I learned the above trick. for my 2c I think it's ultimately a losing battle to try and reimplement bash ("poorly", to quote the famous phrase) and we should ship a minimal wx based ximgview/qiv/display app with auto refesh on file update and minimal g.region/d.zoom/d.where (right click menu only, strictly k.i.s.s. like d.mon). I doubt it would take much effort to write or maintain as long as we don't try to make it much more than a window into the data. then hardcore folks can use csh/bash/emacs/whatever as they like without the overhead of a gui. it's too much to ask users to find a download an image viewer of their own, especially when it's probably less than a few hundred lines of code to ship our own wx based version. for one thing I'd consider running that tunneled over ssh+X to a remote number cruncher, but not a real GUI. a while ago while traveling and only a borrowed win2k + puTTY to work with I rigged up a system where the png driver wrote the display image across to a apache public dir which I could reload in the web browser. not ideal, but it worked.
