hstr

BASH History Suggest Box.

DESCRIPTION

A command line utility that brings improved BASH command completion from the history. It aims to make completion easier to use and faster than Ctrl-R.

INSTALLATION

• bind hh to a key and/or add it to $PATH

• bind hh to a BASH key by adding a line to your .bashrc, e.g. Ctrl-R:

  bind '"\C-r": "\C-k\C-uhh\C-j"'

  or F12:

  bind '"\e[24~":"\C-k\C-uhh\C-j"'

  or Ctrl-F12:

  bind '"\e[24;5~":"\C-k\C-uhh\C-j"'

  To determine the character sequence emitted by a pressed key in terminal, type CTRL-v and then press the key. For example, F12 gives ^[[24~. Replace the ^[ with \e. To clear the line first, add \C-k \C-u in front of the actual command. Check your current bindings using:

  bind -S
