command history searching
Authored by: Chris Jones on Jan 15, '02 09:29:16AM

The terminal window already has a standard method to search command history. By typing <control>r you enter the terminal's reverse search mode. As you type a command, the terminal shows you the most recent command that matches what you have typed so far.

However, from a UI perspective, I kind of prefer what you have done.
