So, why don't make history even more userful adding some kind of search/find tool? or (even better) a "grep in history"? or the possibility to save the whole history in a separate file? (so one could find using grep or his favourite tool) To me, this is an important issue: many terminals don't give history search tool, and i often need to search in terminal history. Thanks for the great job, anyway ;) 529363 1 me 2007-06-02 15:19:47 +0000 For the time being you can use screen(1) which allows you to search. 529364 2 hein 2007-06-02 15:27:47 +0000 Unfortunately the Konsole KPart which Yakuake is based around presently doesn't implement the required interfaces. 529531 3 phil 2007-06-03 14:25:50 +0000 Eike, should this be moved to konsole then? 588003 4 hein 2008-03-18 19:33:13 +0000 Moving to Konsole, indeed. For the record, the KPart context menu does offer the option to save the scrollback to a file these days (i.e., in KDE 4 / Yakuake 2.9). 588004 5 hein 2008-03-18 19:33:40 +0000 Renaming bug for clarity. 595879 6 elendorm 2008-04-21 06:55:09 +0000 More practically, I always wondered why when using the up arrow to scroll back into history, it doesn't filter with what is already in the command line. The typical example case is when I type a long command line and then use many whatever commands afterwards. Suddenly, I happen to need again that first long command line. I naturally, start typing it (the first few characters) then remembers that I typed it already and scroll up in the history. Since I type the first few characters, Konsole should grep the history accordingly and show me only the commands I used that started in the same way. Well, it felt so natural to me this way that I get annoyed when I realize I have to move up 25 commands in the history to find again the command I wanted which is only 20 characters long. 596055 7 robertknight 2008-04-21 14:41:56 +0000 Eric, the command history is provided by the shell, probably 'bash', not Konsole. If you want to search the history for commands beginning with text then press Ctrl+R and type the first few characters of the command. Pres Ctrl+R to cycle through matches. Search for "bash tips and tricks" for more information. 603270 8 robertknight 2008-05-22 03:05:01 +0000 *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 162319 ***
