Looking for resource on setting up history callback for shells

CSH, BASH, KSH, TCSH... They're all different, and I want to know how to setup automatic history for each of them?

I always use KSH myself and use ctrl-k to bringup my history. It also allows me to search my history and has vi editing.

I want to be able to do the same with other shells. I often have to hop onto other accounts and just get slowed down when they have a different setup as an environment.

Devel::REPL::Plugin::ReadLineHistory(3pm)		User Contributed Perl Documentation		 Devel::REPL::Plugin::ReadLineHistory(3pm)

NAME
Devel::REPL::Plugin::ReadLineHistory - Integrate history with the facilities provided by Term::ReadLine DESCRIPTION
This plugin enables loading and saving command line history from a file as well has history expansion of previous commands using the !-syntax a la bash. By default, history expansion is enabled with this plugin when using Term::ReadLine::Gnu. That means that "loose" '!' characters will be treated as history events which may not be what you wish. To avoid this, you need to quote the '!' with '': my $var = "foo!"; or place the arguments in single quotes---but enable the "Term::ReadLine" attribute "history_quotes_inhibit_expansion": $_REPL->term->Attribs->{history_quotes_inhibit_expansion} = 1; my $var = 'foo!'; and to disable history expansion from GNU readline/history do $_REPL->term->Attribs->{do_expand} = 0; CONFLICTS
Note that Term::ReadLine::Perl does not support a history expansion method. In that case, you may wish to use the Devel::REPL History plugin which provides similar functions. Work is underway to make use of either History or ReadLineHistory consistent for expansion with either the Term::ReadLine::Gnu support or Term::ReadLine::Perl. perl v5.14.2 2010-06-13 Devel::REPL::Plugin::ReadLineHistory(3pm)
