| |
| <dl> |
| <dt><code>accept-line (Newline or Return)</code><a name="index-accept_002dline-_0028Newline-or-Return_0029-3228"></a><dd>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 |
| <code>add_history()</code>. |
| If this line is a modified history line, the history line is restored |
| to its original state. |
| |
| <br><dt><code>previous-history (C-p)</code><a name="index-previous_002dhistory-_0028C_002dp_0029-3229"></a><dd>Move `back' through the history list, fetching the previous command. |
| |
| <br><dt><code>next-history (C-n)</code><a name="index-next_002dhistory-_0028C_002dn_0029-3230"></a><dd>Move `forward' through the history list, fetching the next command. |
| |
| <br><dt><code>beginning-of-history (M-<)</code><a name="index-beginning_002dof_002dhistory-_0028M_002d_003c_0029-3231"></a><dd>Move to the first line in the history. |
| |
| <br><dt><code>end-of-history (M->)</code><a name="index-end_002dof_002dhistory-_0028M_002d_003e_0029-3232"></a><dd>Move to the end of the input history, i.e., the line currently |
| being entered. |
| |
| <br><dt><code>reverse-search-history (C-r)</code><a name="index-reverse_002dsearch_002dhistory-_0028C_002dr_0029-3233"></a><dd>Search backward starting at the current line and moving `up' through |
| the history as necessary. This is an incremental search. |
| |
| <br><dt><code>forward-search-history (C-s)</code><a name="index-forward_002dsearch_002dhistory-_0028C_002ds_0029-3234"></a><dd>Search forward starting at the current line and moving `down' through |
| the the history as necessary. This is an incremental search. |
| |
| <br><dt><code>non-incremental-reverse-search-history (M-p)</code><a name="index-non_002dincremental_002dreverse_002dsearch_002dhistory-_0028M_002dp_0029-3235"></a><dd>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. |
| |
| <br><dt><code>non-incremental-forward-search-history (M-n)</code><a name="index-non_002dincremental_002dforward_002dsearch_002dhistory-_0028M_002dn_0029-3236"></a><dd>Search forward starting at the current line and moving `down' |
| through the the history as necessary using a non-incremental search |
| for a string supplied by the user. |
| |
| <br><dt><code>history-search-forward ()</code><a name="index-history_002dsearch_002dforward-_0028_0029-3237"></a><dd>Search forward through the history for the string of characters |
| between the start of the current line and the point. |
| This is a non-incremental search. |
| By default, this command is unbound. |
| |
| <br><dt><code>history-search-backward ()</code><a name="index-history_002dsearch_002dbackward-_0028_0029-3238"></a><dd>Search backward through the history for the string of characters |
| between the start of the current line and the point. This |
| is a non-incremental search. By default, this command is unbound. |
| |
| <br><dt><code>yank-nth-arg (M-C-y)</code><a name="index-yank_002dnth_002darg-_0028M_002dC_002dy_0029-3239"></a><dd>Insert the first argument to the previous command (usually |
| the second word on the previous line) at point. |
| With an argument <var>n</var>, |
| insert the <var>n</var>th word from the previous command (the words |
| in the previous command begin with word 0). A negative argument |
| inserts the <var>n</var>th word from the end of the previous command. |
| Once the argument <var>n</var> is computed, the argument is extracted |
| as if the ‘<samp><span class="samp">!</span><var>n</var></samp>’ history expansion had been specified. |
| |
| <br><dt><code>yank-last-arg (M-. or M-_)</code><a name="index-yank_002dlast_002darg-_0028M_002d_002e-or-M_002d_005f_0029-3240"></a><dd>Insert last argument to the previous command (the last word of the |
| previous history entry). |
| With a numeric argument, behave exactly like <code>yank-nth-arg</code>. |
| Successive calls to <code>yank-last-arg</code> 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 ‘<samp><span class="samp">!$</span></samp>’ history expansion had been specified. |
