  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).
