C-s: forward-search-history and flow control double duty?

[Dan Jacobson]

Hi its me again posting irresponsibly before checking the facts, but:

Let's say one does C-r <search string> C-r C-r C-r C-r C-r C-r and
then Oops, passed by it... pressed one too many C-r's.  If this was
emacs I would just press C-s and get back to it, but in my terminal
windows [bash/icewm/mandrake] C-s is flow control, at least the way I
found it on my system... And let's say I think flow control is keen
and also don't want to rebind my brain, therefore can we somehow make
C-s be forward-search-history when typing to the shell, and be flow
control when doing "cat", "ls", etc.?
