Re: [Help-bash] bash key mapping in reverse-i-search mode

[Sinbad]

Hi chet,

i'm running GNU bash, version 4.2.0(1)-release (x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu)

it still not working, the following is the mapping.

 bind -m vi-insert  '",r":reverse-search-history'

i can get the mapping to work the first time, but when in reservese-search-mode

the mapping doesn't work any more, i have to presss ctrl-r, to go through reverse

entries...

Here's what I did.  Using emacs mode on bash-4.2.37, I ran

bind '",b":reverse-search-history'

After that, successively entering `,b' takes me back through the history
until there are no more instances of the search string.
