Hit "<esc> k", then it's like vi, k/j to go up down the history buffer, l/h to move right and left (and of course, w, b, fx etc...), cx/dx/ etc... to change/delete (x if a movement command) etc... "<esc> /pattern" to search back in the history buffer The only tricky one for bash is "<esc> =" for file completion.
