Subject: Line editor - "get word from history"
Date: Wed, 25 Nov 1998 23:15:35 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <19981125231534.A735@morpheus> (raw)
I was reading an article on the WWW recently, which compared various
shells. One feature of tcsh which was commented on favourably was the
history stuff. Two particular features I liked:
1. A keypress to move to a previous history line which matched what you
had typed so far on the line. Zsh has this, in history-beginning-search-
backward (although I'd prefer this if it moved the cursor to the end of
the line, but retained knowledge of the part I had typed, so that I
could continue backwards matching what I had typed, or stop and add to
the end of the line).
2. A keypress to complete the current word, using the words in previous
history lines - imagine
mkdir a-very-long-name
cd a-<complete>
I looked in the zsh documentation I have (not totally up-to-date) and
could find nothing like (2). Is it available in the latest version, and
if not, is there any chance of it being added?
Thanks,
Paul Moore.
