I know you can use the arrow keys to go up and down the command history in bash but I want to know if there is equivalent letter-based shortcut so my hands don’t have to travel as far. Any ideas?
Note: I’m aware of Ctrl-R for searching command history.
In bash most of the emacs key-bindings works as well.
So what you are looking for here is, C-n and C-p
Or, you can do
set -o viand then use the vi key-bindings j & k. In normal mode of course,i.e. do, ESC first.
