Bash history search
Molto comodo, usando il terminale, poter cominciare a scrivere un comando già usato in passato e scorrendo con la freccia da tastiera, poterlo recuperare al volo senza dover tornare su 2 o 300 volte!
Per poter fare questo è necessario (su osx ma credo che valga anche per linux) creare (se non esiste) nella propria home il file .inputrc e al suo interno copiare quanto segue:
# set show-all-if-ambiguous on
# do not bell on tab-completion
set bell-style none
set meta-flag on
set input-meta on
set convert-meta off
set output-meta on
# show file types while completing
set visible-stats on
# Completed names which are symbolic links to
# directories have a slash appended.
set mark-symlinked-directories on
# Only show ‘show all nn items’ for > 1000
set completion-query-items 1000
$if mode=emacs
# for linux console and RH/Debian xterm
“\e[1~": beginning-of-line
"\e[4~": end-of-line
"\e[5~": beginning-of-history
"\e[6~": end-of-history
"\e[3~": delete-char
"\e[2~": quoted-insert

$endif

"\e[B": history-search-forward

$endif
