That was a little unclear... escape key followed by period. > You mention "emacs mode"... I don't know what that is. > Unless you're disabling it for some reason, you have advanced line editing, generally via readline. (If the arrow keys work for history, you have it.) If control-p / control-n goes through history, you are in emacs mode. If pressing <esc> then using j and k goes through history, you are in vi mode. (It turns out that, for whatever reason, readline doesn't bind yank-last-arg in vi mode. :/ http://jasonwryan.com/blog/2011/12/01/readline/ ) -- brandon s allbery kf8nh sine nomine associates allber...@gmail.com ballb...@sinenomine.net unix, openafs, kerberos, infrastructure, xmonad http://sinenomine.net
