Re: Re: bash history search key binding

n press up and down key will walk you through all previous commands that start with "cd" one by one. This is more efficient than the default behavior of up/down key binding, which shows you the whole command history one by one.

Re: Re: 100dpi vs. 75dpi fonts in X

that requires the display dimension be stored in the hardware. Lei -dpi 100 in Xservers is purely arbitrary, intended for the old xfs system, not for moderm fontconfig apps.
