A patch to do this was posted on 2007-09-29 by Glenn Davis. Some
people not
addicted to Matlab find the behaviour very inconvenient and prefer
the
getline/readline behaviour (triggered by ^R/^S) of Rterm and R on
Unixen.
On unixen you can redefine your up/down arrows in your .inputrc:
"\e[A": history-search-backward
"\e[B": history-search-forward
which I find really useful, but it definitely takes a few weeks of
getting used to. I suspect there maybe an equivalent for Rterm.
Those of us who (sensibly! :-) ) use vi have:
set editing-mode vi
in our .inputrc files.
Then <esc> puts you into vi editing mode whence ``/'' searches
``forwards'' and ``?'' searches ``backwards'' --- with the convention
that the most recent command is the ``top'' of the file.
And then when you've found the command that you want, you can edit it
(with vi syntax) before pressing <return> to re-issue the command.
No home should be without one.
cheers,
Rolf Turner
