[aklug] Re: Tip Jar: Search through bash history

Hi All,
 
I'll chime in.
 
I have this in my /etc/inputrc
 
Control-h: "history \C-m"

This allows a quick history via a ctrl-h in Konsole (here...).
 
I then do a,
 
~/Documents$ !(command number from history)
 
to rerun the command from history.
 
Here's a link to some other goodies.

Back to lurking.
Cheers!
Eddie
