INSTALLATION
-
add
hh
to$PATH
-
add
shopt -s histappend
export PROMPT_COMMAND="history -a; history -n; ${PROMPT_COMMAND}"
at the end of
.bashrc
in order to ensure that BASH history of commands will be kept in sync with filesystem. -
bind
hh
to a BASH key by adding a line to.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
