Question

My question is how to get command line completion of commands stored in the history in csh, writing the start of the command and using up/down arrows to move through the list, in a similar way as done in Matlab. Example:

$ vim fi
[press up]
$ vim file.py

I have seen the topic answered for bash shell in the below posts but not for csh. I think that it not may be possible for csh …

I think what you are looking for is one of the following commands:

bindkey -k up history-search-backward

bindkey -k down history-search-forward
