Cool! Never heard about that feature in ratpoison, but use it everyday in bash and zsh. ^search^replace^ is also part of that feature set. Full documentation of libhistory's features: http://cnswww.cns.cwru.edu/php/chet/readline/history.html#SEC3 > It's not a hassle to support, very little code is involved ; Sounds good.

Hrm. I'd use it rather seldom, ... > If you already make use of this feature, please speak up, ... but I likely would use it.

So if you don't kick it out, I'd file a wishlist bug against ratpoison in Debian to enable it.
