Another option to achieve basically the same result is to use the shell's history. In bash: Ctrl-p & Ctrl-N to move up & down the history list Ctrl-R to search the history list I tend to use bindings provided by my Window Manager for a few GUI apps such as mozilla .. gimp .. and the history mechanisms for the multitude of text-mode tools that I may need occasionally .. and whose options' syntax I regularly forget. Since you mentioned vt's this may be a useful complement to the .inputrc bindings that Wayne recommends -- if you run out of bindable keys for instance..
