Here is my somewhat OT question since this is not exactly Debian but generic
BASH question...
In order to search command history in BASH, I can use Ctrl-R (reverse
incremental search) but so far am unsuccessful in using Ctrl-S (normal
incremental search).
As I see in BASH manual page bash(1)
...
reverse-search-history (C-r)
Search backward starting at the current line and moving `up'
through the history as necessary. This is an incremental
search.
forward-search-history (C-s)
Search forward starting at the current line and moving `down'
through the history as necessary. This is an incremental
search.
If I prepend Ctrl-S with Ctrl-V, I get "^S".
Of course Ctrl-S just freezes screen until I press Ctrl-Q.
Any simple key-sequences to handle this situation?
