Title: enhancing Shell History
Post by: Jáder on August 04, 2007, 01:56:37 PM

I'd like to share a VERY USEFUL TIP about linux I just discovered on a brazilian linux site.

Expand the "memory of your .bash_history to 2000 lines adding this on your .bashrc:

Code: [Select]

export HISTFILESIZE=2000
export HISTSIZE=2000

And now enhance the search of commands on your new bigger history.
Create a .inputrc with :

Code: [Select]

"\e[A": history-search-backward
"\e[B": history-search-forward


Next logon you'll be able to search command by start wo write them and use up/down arrows.

I'd love to see those enhancement on next release of SME :)
