^r search through history
Authored by: Cadre on Oct 22, '01 09:17:48AM

Press ^r (control r)

A new prompt "bck:" will arrise below your normal prompt. Start typing and whatever you type will search backward through your history file (and will be displayed). Press enter to accept. This is one of my favorite key bindings.

Apple did a very good job with the default shell config files, better than any distribution I've ever used.
