My gentoo laptop allows me to begin typing a command and use pg-up/pg-dn to cycle through my history of commands that matches the typed pattern. As an example, I can type "ls" and press pg-up and if the last list command I did was "ls -la /etc/postfix" it will complete that for me. My server does not do this though, it just types a tilde. (~) I can't remember if I altered my laptop to get that behavior or not, but does anyone know where I might look to turn that on? -- ______________________________________________________ |o John Hoffoss Page 1/1 o| |o System Support Analyst, University of Minnesota - o| |o Facilities Management - Information Services o| |o [work] hoffossj at facm.umn.edu [work] 612.626.7628 o| |o [personal] hoff0438 at umn.edu [mobile] 612.867.1432 o| |o [personal] john at hoffoss.com [inet] http://minn.tc o| |o o| |o Hands-free mobile phones: blurring the line o| |o between technology and schizophrenia _ _ _ _o| |o _ _ _ _ _ / `-' `-' `-' `. |o _ _ _ _ / `-' `-' `-' `-' `-' `-' `-' `-' `-' `-' _______________________________________________ TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota http://www.mn-linux.org tclug-list at mn-linux.org https://mailman.real-time.com/mailman/listinfo/tclug-list
