Then press Ctrl-R to search backwards in history. That is one of my favorite functions in bash, zsh and other Unix shells. Say you worked in a directory named "somecoolstuff" some days ago: - press Ctrl-R - type "someco" - usually its there already - to further go backward use Ctrl-R - if you want to reuse a line press cursor right or left to edit it or just return to send it to the shell again Unfortunately search forwarding once you searched backwards once to much is a bit of an issue. Ctrl-S stops output of the shell which seems basically frozen then. But not on all Debian versions. Can be continued with Ctrl-Q. Usually searching forward and stopping the output use lowercase versus uppercase s, not sure what for which, but exactly this does not appear to work on konsole from KDE 4.6.5 or gnome-terminal, lxterminal or xterm from Squeeze.
