Hi. To re-do previous command sequences from the history Bash provides operate-and-get-next (bound to C-o). So to re-do a sequence A B C of commands I need to navigate to A in the history and then enter
A C-o (=> B) C-o (=> C) RET However, that requires the decision to re-do a sequence (and not only a single command) *BEFORE* the first command of the sequence is re-done. However, to me it happens quite frequently that I navigate to A, hit RET as usual and only then remember that I would have better hit C-o instead of RET. Emacs' function comint-get-next-from-history (bound to C-c C-x) uses a different approach: Here you navigate to A, press RET as usal, and press C-c C-x to get B and later C: A RET C-c C-x (=> B) RET C-c C-x (=> C) RET While these are more keystrokes, I find it more intuitive and flexible since I can decide *AFTER* having issued command A how to go on. I'm not sure whether something like that would be technically possible in Bash. I'd definitely like something like that. Thanks and regards Jens
