history-search-backward

[Leander Jedamus]

Hi!

On my ubuntu system I had to insert these lines into /etc/zsh/zshrc:
[[ -z "$terminfo[kpp]" ]] || bindkey -M emacs "$terminfo[kpp]" 
history-search-backward
[[ -z "$terminfo[knp]" ]] || bindkey -M emacs "$terminfo[knp]" 
history-search-forward

Now my question is, how can history-search be configured?
When I hit "sudo mount<PageUp>" the "mount"-part is ignored in the 
search, all "sudo" are shown one at a time.
How can I change this?

Thanks in advance

You could use history-beginning-search-backward instead of
history-search-backward. It will search using the text from the beginning of
the line to the cursor.
See http://zsh.sourceforge.net/Doc/Release/Zsh-Line-Editor.html#SEC130
