How to scroll to end of command line history
Hi, It's really annoying for me, that when I run "Ctrl+R" to search through the history I end up finding my command but I'm stuck in the history, how can I get to the end of the history with a keystroke.

If you're using bash, and haven't changed the line editing mode, then M-> (that is, hold down Alt while pressing the '>' key).

You'll need the shift key in there too. -Chris -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines

Page down works for me if I'm understanding what you want correctly (it takes me down to a blank command line s.t. hitting "up arrow" again will take me to the last line of history). Line editing and history are implemented in bash using the GNU Readline library. For more information on the commands available and their keybindings, see the READLINE section in the bash manual pages.

I think that page down should only if you're less than a page back in history.

That's not the case - by default on Fedora the Page Down key is bound to
the Readline end-of-history command (same as M->).
You can confirm this with the readline dump-functions command:
end-of-history can be found on "\e>", "\e[6~"
This is set in the default /etc/inputrc provided by the Fedora setup RPM
("\e[6~" is Page Down, "\e[5~" is Page Up).
What is "a page back" in history anyway? My current terminal height?
Doesn't seem very useful..
Regards,
Bryn.

You're right on both counts (PgDn works and actual page back would't
make much sense). Sorry for the noise!
