BASH History Suggest Box
A command line utility that brings improved BASH command completion from the history. It aims to make completion easier and faster than Ctrl-R.

add
shopt -s histappend
export PROMPT_COMMAND="history -a; history -n; ${PROMPT_COMMAND}"
at the end of .bashrc
in order to ensure that BASH history of commands
will be kept in sync with filesystem.
bind hh
to a BASH key by adding a line to .bashrc
, e.g. Ctrl-R:
bind '"\C-r": "\C-k\C-uhh\C-j"'
or F12:
bind '"\e[24~":"\C-k\C-uhh\C-j"'
or Ctrl-F12:
bind '"\e[24;5~":"\C-k\C-uhh\C-j"'
To determine the character sequence emitted by a pressed key in terminal,
type CTRL-v and then press the key. For example, F12 gives ^[[24~
.
Replace the ^[
with \e
. To clear the line first, add \C-k \C-u
in
front of the actual command. Check your current bindings using:
bind -S
