Why not arrow up? That's what I use and it is very natural.

- hyp0 12y agoMe too. And not entering anything gives normal arrow up, so there's no loss. BTW: ^r is a little more powerful: it is /string/ while this one is /^string/ BTW ^r annoyance: you can't type and then hit ^r. You have to hit ^r first. Seems easy to fix... BTW tip: if you like readline features, consider rlwrap: it wraps its argument (which is your command) in readline. e.g. rlwrap python. Especially nice to wrap your own interactive cmdline tool.
- loevborg 12y agoThanks for the tip on rlwrap, that looks really useful!
- dogem 12y agoBecause you have to move your hand away from the home row. And that's not what some people, like me, want.
