7.6 Useful Features of the Shell
As you probably noticed in the examples above, entering commands in Bash can
include a lot of typing. In the following, get to know some features of the Bash that
can make your work a lot easier and save a lot of typing.
History
By default, Bash “remembers” commands you have entered. This feature is called
history. You can browse through commands that have been entered before, select
one you want to repeat and then execute it again. To do so, press [↑] repeatedly
until the desired command appears at the prompt. To move forward through the
list of previously entered commands, press [↓]. For easier repetition of a certain
command from Bash history, just type the rst letter of the command you want
to repeat and press [Page ↑].
You can now edit the selected command (for example, change the name of a le
or a path), before you execute the command by pressing [Enter]. To edit the
command line, just move the cursor to the desired position using the arrow keys
and start typing.
You can also search for a certain command in the history. Press [Ctrl] + [R] to
start an incremental search function. showing the following prompt:
(reverse-i-search)`':
