2006-06-07 17:26:29 Manuel López-Ibáñez description (Tested only in Breezy. This may work in Dapper.) In Bash C-r invokes reverse-search-history. Also, pressing C-s is suppossed to invoke forward-search-history. However, it seems there is some strange conflict or bug in bash (or readline) or Ubuntu's setup. There is a workaround [*]: $ stty -a | fgrep 'stop = ' eol2 = <undef>; start = ^Q; stop = ^S; susp = ^Z; rprnt = ^R; werase = ^W; $ stty stop undef $ stty -a | fgrep 'stop = ' eol2 = <undef>; start = ^Q; stop = <undef>; susp = ^Z; rprnt = ^R; werase = ^W; Once we've made this change, Control-S then works for using forward-search-history http://lists.balug.org/pipermail/balug-talk-balug.org/2005-October/003545.html (Tested only in Breezy.

2007-06-11 18:57:14 Daniel Hahler gnome-terminal: statusexplanation I can confirm that "Ctrl-S" does not work in gnome-terminal, while it does in Konsole. In gnome-terminal, it seems to start a "special sequence input" or similar, e.g. pressing Ctrl-S and then "cursor down" results in a "[B".
