With C-r you need to first type C-r, then type your search key. With the OP's inputrc nice hack, you first type the begining of your command, and then up. To me it is very different.


view as:

With Ctrl-R it is the same. If you start typing a command, then type Ctrl-R it will use that as the first part of your search.

You sure? Not in the bash versions (3 & 4) I'm using... In anycase, I'll stick to C-R since I know it works universally. And I depend on C-R quite a bit.

yea it is worse
