How to use bck-i-search in your shell
There's a command I often use in my shell calling bck-i-search
. It allows you to search in your history a command already executed in your shell.
You've got two ways:
-
bck-i-search
for back -
fwd-i-search
for forth
Just use ctrl+r
in your terminal and you'll open bck-i-search
. Type a word and the command will find you one line. If you want to go deeper in history, use again ctrl-r
and if you want to use the forth way, use ctrl-s
.
Enjoy.
