Fast command history scrolling in Terminal
Authored by: fracai on Dec 01, '04 01:58:10PM

I find this to be more of a bug than a feature. For example, if a command you're typing out is long enough to wrap to the next line, option-clicking near the beginning of the command (ie. the first line of the two line command) you'll also see this history scrolling. option-click seems to issue arrow keys in order to reposition the cursor and therefore breaks with multi-line commands.

the !### tip is nice though. I would use grep, but didn't know the numbers were actually useful.
