In continuation of the tangent --- I use ESC-P / ESC-N a lot; it's a neat feature that tcsh has had for a long time, maybe since the beginning. However it's a tcsh feature, not sh, bash, or csh IIRC. But csh is actually tcsh on FreeBSD but I'm sure most people already know this on this list. To emulate this behaviour in bash, I simply create a .inputrc file in my $HOME with the following contents: # .inputrc field "\ep": history-search-backward "\en": history-search-forward Works for me.
