    1. vim ~/.inputrc
    2. Paste the following:

    "\e[A": history-search-backward "\e[B": history-search-forward

    Thank me later

      Man, I’ve been on unix systems since, oh, 1994, but I’ve never messed with my .inputrc … may need to take the dive…

      Ok this is actually great. Is there a way to make it so when you down arrow again it will clear the cmd line (or take it back to the prefix)?

      Like “py” -> up -> down -> result is “py”

      Currently it would show my last python command (or whatever matches).
