Repeat Commands

On my system I use Escape "k" to go back in commands. I read on tutorials that it is ctrl p, but that does not work on my system.

Anyone know what the command to go foward is?

It depends on yr EDITOR setting u have.

for EDITOR as vi ... ESC + k navaigates to previous commands.

CTRL + P .. i think that is for emacs editor.


do either set -o vi
or

set -o emacs

after exporting the EDITOR=vi or EDITOR=emacs.

Assuming you have vi as your editor.

ESC + k moves backward
ESC + j moves forward

google, esc+j is the one, thx.

However I do not have to be in vi to use the command, it works right from the command line.
