Hi,
I was wondering if bash or inputrc has changed form CentOS v4 to CentOS v5? Reason I ask is at the bash cli I can type, for example 'su' and then with the up and down arrows I can scroll through my history and will only see the commands that begin with 'su'. In CentOS 5 this isn't the case.
I have added some code to my inputrc file to make this work in CentOS 4 as follows:
# Search History for previous used commands "\M-[A":history-search-backward "\M-[B":history-search-forward "\M-[C":forward-char "\M-[D":backward-char
And this works well in CentOS 4 but I cannot get it to work in CentOS 5. Anyone know why or what I have to change?
I usually just hit ctl-R for the reverse-i-search function. It's a little annoying for people who don't use emacs, but it works.
