But bash doesn't do that in POSIX mode, and redirects both stderr and stdout to `/dev/null'. You're right, and it's not worth changing at this point. It's come up before, and the bash interpretation is much more useful and compatible. -- ``The lyf so short, the craft so long to lerne.'' - Chaucer ``Ars longa, vita brevis'' - Hippocrates Chet Ramey, UTech, CWRUc...@case.eduhttp://tiswww.cwru.edu/~chet/

Re: When searching in command history, highlighting is missing the first character

Repeat-By: 1. Open Bash, and command: abcdef 2. Click Ctrl-R, and type: bcde Expected behavior: The command "abcdef" is shown on the command line, and "bcde" is highlighted. Observed behavior: The command "abcdef" is shown on the command line, and "cde" is highlighted. I can't reproduce this. I think it depends on how your terminal emulator displays the cursor. -- ``The lyf so short, the craft so long to lerne.'' - Chaucer ``Ars longa, vita brevis'' - Hippocrates Chet Ramey, UTech, CWRUc...@case.eduhttp://tiswww.cwru.edu/~chet/

Someone in IRC asked about this too just recently. Any thoughts in this? I'll consider it.

Re: When searching in command history, highlighting is missing the first character
You're right; the cursor was a block when I saw the bug, but when I changed it to I-beam, command search worked as expected. When using a block cursor, it's shown as a highlight of the character under the cursor, and the highlighting of the searched string seems to be reversing that. So my bug report can be disregarded. -- Teemu Leisti On Mon, 21 Jun 2021 at 17:10, Chet Ramey wrote: > > On 6/20/21 12:51 PM, Teemu Leisti wrote: > > > Bash Version: 5.1 > > Patch Level: 4 > > Release Status: release > > > > Description: > > When using ctrl-R to search in the command history, Bash highlights > > the searched string, but not its first character. > > > > Repeat-By: > > 1.
