When working an interactive bash session, one aspect from the Windows shell I miss is the F8 key where you start typing a command, hit F8 and the shell finds the most recent command entered in history that matches what you have typed so far. e.g.
me@Ubntu07:~>cd /home/jb<F8 Key Here> brings up my prior command:
me@Ubntu07:~>cd /home/jboss/server/default/log Is there any way to do this in bash ?
Hit Ctrl–R before you start typing.
(There may well be another version which finds commands based on what’s already been typed – I wouldn’t know, as Ctrl–R has always been good enough for me 🙂
Pressing Ctrl–R again shows the next match etc.
