I'd like to enhance Alt-. = insert-last-word a bit:
- If at the beginning of a word, just work like insert-last-word
(i.e. if pressed multiple times, replace the word by older last
words).
- If there is already something on the command line, work like
above, but match only words that begin with the present string.
Example history:
... bar
... foo
... baz
... foobar
Then type
$ ... <Alt-.>
$ ... foobar<Alt-.>
$ ... baz<Alt-.>
$ ... bar<Alt-.>
etc.
But
$ ... b<Alt-.>
$ ... baz<Alt-.>
$ ... bar<Alt-.>
Is there a simple way to do that, short of programming a new widget?
Ciao
Dominik ^_^ ^_^

Sounds a lot like you want _history-complete-older ?

Hm, ist there any kind of documentation? It seems to be bound to
"Alt-/", but when pressed it results in an error message:
_history:58: failed to find end of command substitution
