1.4.2 Commands For Manipulating The History
-------------------------------------------
'accept-line (Newline or Return)'
Accept the line regardless of where the cursor is. If this line is
non-empty, it may be added to the history list for future recall
with 'add_history()'. If this line is a modified history line, the
history line is restored to its original state.
'previous-history (C-p)'
Move 'back' through the history list, fetching the previous
command.
'next-history (C-n)'
Move 'forward' through the history list, fetching the next command.
'beginning-of-history (M-<)'
Move to the first line in the history.
'end-of-history (M->)'
Move to the end of the input history, i.e., the line currently
being entered.
'reverse-search-history (C-r)'
Search backward starting at the current line and moving 'up'
through the history as necessary. This is an incremental search.
'forward-search-history (C-s)'
Search forward starting at the current line and moving 'down'
through the history as necessary. This is an incremental search.
'non-incremental-reverse-search-history (M-p)'
Search backward starting at the current line and moving 'up'
through the history as necessary using a non-incremental search for
a string supplied by the user. The search string may match
anywhere in a history line.
'non-incremental-forward-search-history (M-n)'
Search forward starting at the current line and moving 'down'
through the history as necessary using a non-incremental search for
a string supplied by the user. The search string may match
anywhere in a history line.
'history-search-forward ()'
Search forward through the history for the string of characters
between the start of the current line and the point. The search
string must match at the beginning of a history line. This is a
non-incremental search. By default, this command is unbound.
'history-search-backward ()'
Search backward through the history for the string of characters
between the start of the current line and the point. The search
string must match at the beginning of a history line. This is a
non-incremental search. By default, this command is unbound.
'history-substr-search-forward ()'
Search forward through the history for the string of characters
between the start of the current line and the point. The search
string may match anywhere in a history line. This is a
non-incremental search. By default, this command is unbound.
'history-substr-search-backward ()'
Search backward through the history for the string of characters
between the start of the current line and the point. The search
string may match anywhere in a history line. This is a
non-incremental search. By default, this command is unbound.
'yank-nth-arg (M-C-y)'
Insert the first argument to the previous command (usually the
second word on the previous line) at point. With an argument N,
insert the Nth word from the previous command (the words in the
previous command begin with word 0). A negative argument inserts
the Nth word from the end of the previous command. Once the
argument N is computed, the argument is extracted as if the '!N'
history expansion had been specified.
'yank-last-arg (M-. or M-_)'
Insert last argument to the previous command (the last word of the
previous history entry). With a numeric argument, behave exactly
like 'yank-nth-arg'. Successive calls to 'yank-last-arg' move back
through the history list, inserting the last word (or the word
specified by the argument to the first call) of each line in turn.
Any numeric argument supplied to these successive calls determines
the direction to move through the history. A negative argument
switches the direction through the history (back or forward). The
history expansion facilities are used to extract the last argument,
as if the '!$' history expansion had been specified.
