CONFIGURATION EXPLANATION
-
appending of the in memory history (instead of overwriting it) to
.bash_history
:shopt -s histappend
-
flushing and realoading of
.bash_history
in order to ensure that it is in sync with memory:export PROMPT_COMMAND="history -a; history -n; ${PROMPT_COMMAND}"
-
binding of
hh
to a BASH key (e.g. toCtrl-R
):bind '"\C-r": "\C-ahh \C-j"'
Ctrl-F12
would be:bind '"\e[24;5~":"\C-ahh \C-j"'
To determine the character sequence emitted by a pressed key in terminal, type CTRL-v and then press the key. Check your current bindings using:
bind -S
