I tested this patch on windows. It works. I used MSys/MinGW environment that comes with windows version of git
By the way: forward-search-history is completely different feature from history-search-forward. They are just different So why it is good to have this feature enabled by default: * Ubuntu - Linux for Human Beings, so it is must have friendly default configurations * Proposed configuration is well tested: Gentoo Linux have this feature enabled for years * Proposed configuration works even in Windows * New users may found this keystrokes easy to learn * Part of bash users are moving to zsh because they don't now how to enable this feature Here is blog post http://www.electrictoolbox.com/pageup-history-auto-completion-bash-shell/ Author of post describes how history-search-backward/history-search-forward features works So. For example you have history: * ssh host-a * cd ~/tmp/some * mkdir test * cd test * vim host-a.conf * ssh host-b * ls * cd ~/projects/kde-base * make You want to connect by ssh to host-a now You can: * Type ssh and press PageUp two times * Type whole command by hands * Press up arrow 8 times * Use reverse search (C-r) supplying 'host-a' as params (It fails when it founds vim host-a.conf) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1015744 Title: Bash history navigation keys should be enabled in the config To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/readline6/+bug/1015744/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
