I'd like to have a context sensitive kind of
history-incremental-search-*.
Assuming the history has the following entries:
(1) cd /foo/bar/baz
(2) xpdf foo.pdf
Typing
$ cd <ctrl-r>foo
should find only (1).
$ x<ctrl-r>foo
should find (2).
$ <ctrl-r>foo<crtl-r>
should cycle through both results.
Ciao
Dominik ^_^ ^_^

The "cycle" part is left as an exercise, because that's not supported
natively by the history-incremental-* widgets. The user-contributed
history-pattern-search and history-beginning-search-menu widgets may
also be helpful.

Thanks a lot, that works fine!

That was only bad choice of words. In a history with two million
lines it is pointless to search in cycles.

I'm a big fan of history-substring-search, which lets you type any portion
of a command and just hit ↑ and scroll through the matches. No need for
Ctrl+R keyboard combo, just arrow keys.

Wow, what a lot of code. I think enabling isearch highlighting and
using my widget (duplicated to be able to search forward as well)
would cover 80% of this. A couple of checks for whether to stick a ^
or a * at the front of the search pattern would cover another 10%.

It's a lot of comments, the amount of code isn't actually too much!

Good idea, though I wouldn't like it as it is, since I often search
some command, then go back in the history to get the beginning of
the sequence of commands I want. However, I would like something
like that, but instead of the up arrow, PageUp to behave as Ctrl-R
(and PageDown as Ctrl-S).
