I seem to recall being able to select the contents of a command line by holding down the shift key, and using left and right arrow keys. Is/was that a bash feature? How do I enable it?

Also, recently I've noticed I'm losing the last command in my history quite often. Especially if it fails. I don't believe that is the way bash used to function. Has something changed? How to I prevent this from happening?

The arrow keys UP/DOWN allow you to recall previous commands, the LEFT/RIGHT keys allow you to position the cursor at whatever point in the command you want. Regards Sid. -- Sid Boyce .... Hamradio G3VBV and keen Flyer Linux Only Shop.
