[SOLVED] ignore case in writing path in terminal

sumeet inani · 09-08-2009, 07:20 AM

hi I am using ubuntu 8.04.
I read that you can add following option to ~/.inputrc:'set completion-ignore-case On' then there is no need to be careful about capital or small letter in file because it gets corrected automatically.I have successfully done it in openSUSE 10.3.Here difficulty is there is no file '.inputrc' in my home folder.

You should be able to create it with your favorite text editor. (Perhaps gedit?) Or if you prefer to create an empty file before you start your editor, you can (in a terminal window):

Code:

touch ~/.inputrc

Like in windows command prompt if you want to see commands you have executed just press F7.
i know that in terminal we can run 'history' then execute command using '!number' but is there a way like a keyboard shortcut to see history & i don't wish to get 'history' command added to my list.

Up arrow steps through your previous commands (just like Windows). Ctrl+R+<search string> searches back through previous commands; when you have found the one you want press Enter or, if you want to edit it, press Esc.

ASKING EVERYONE
I know that but when you press F7 in command prompt you see small window displaying all commands executed so far.
On pressing up arrow you in terminal you see one at a time.
Ctrl+R is helpful if you remember string of previous command but unlike seeing all history together.
Is there anything like F7 of command prompt available in terminal?
Can we associate keyboard shortcut to history & edit .bashrc to ignore when 'history' coomand is run?
