And maybe also put these lines in your ~/.inputrc file: set keymap emacs-meta p: history-search-backward n: history-search-forward Now start new shell (or actually any program that uses Readline library) and type "ls" (or something) in command line and then with keys Meta-p and Meta-n you can browse all commands that start with those characters. This assumes editing-mode "emacs" (which is the default). Meta key is Esc and usually Alt too. signature.asc Description: PGP signature

Seemed like a useful memory aid oriented tip to highlight. I just tried it, and it works great in GNOME Terminal. I tried three letters, too. I tried "deb" and received just "debconf" back at first for some reason. For kicks and giggles since only one command came back, I hit the tab key a couple more times again and ended up receiving a list of all commands that begin with "debconf". Very cool. My thoughts are always that maybe someone else doesn't know it exists, and maybe they know of just the right wish list where this feature or a tweak of it would be perfect for the next upgrade of something else Debian out there. :) Cindy :) -- Cindy-Sue Causey Talking Rock, Pickens County, Georgia, USA * runs with plastic sporks * -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
