Just a stupid question for my knowledge. I love that feature of the SuSe distribution that allows to fetch all the instruction in .bash_history that startx with the few characters typed in shell followed with <Page Up>. I hope to have myself understood. This feature does not exist in other distributions like Debian.
Question is: in what script is this feature encoded? It does not look to be in ~/.bashrc and what is the configuration line?
It's not a script, it's the search function of readline (the function in your shell that reads the commands and lets you edit a command-line). Ctrl-R <argument> searches backwards through the history. See bash(1) Theo -- Theo v.
